JASON MARC-WILLIAMS TO JOIN CAST OF ALADDIN
The magic continues at Orchard West as the panto Genie grants yet another festive wish with the announcement that the hilarious Jason Marc-Williams will be stepping into the size ten stilettos of the Dame, bringing some show stopping costumes and a lot of laughs to Dartford’s magical panto Aladdin this Christmas.
Jason, a seasoned performer who trained at Guildford School of Acting, joins the already announced TV favourite Linda Robson and award-winning comedian Rikki Jay on the stage in the genie-us panto guaranteed to deliver laugh-a-minute festive fun for the whole family from 13 December 2025 to 04 January 2026.
Despite his many, many appearances in pantomimes and theatre productions across the UK and Internationally, this will be Jason’s first time on stage in Dartford, and he is thrilled to return to playing the Dame after several seasons as the villain and says:
“I’m really looking forward to it. I do panto every year, but it’s been a couple of years since I last played the Dame, and I’ve missed it. I’ve been playing the baddie for the last few years, so I’m excited to be back in the heels and wigs. This will also be my first time on stage in Dartford. It’s been a few years since the town has had a traditional panto dame and for me it’s such a core part of pantomime, so I can’t wait to bring her to the stage!”
With dazzling sets, toe-tapping tunes, barrels of belly laughs and a magical tale to match, Aladdin is the ultimate festive treat.
Will Aladdin be able to thwart the wicked sorcerer, gain control of the magic lamp and win the heart of Jasmine? Come along and find out!
