It's unfortunate but entirely predictable that critics will compare this 'Aladdin' to the excellent one at the Hackney Empire. But Kerry Michael's street smart production of the classic fairytale still has plenty to recommend it. Darren Kuppan imbues the lovable lead role of Aladdin with winsome humour and impressive breakdancing skills while Michael Bertenshaw is an enjoyably wicked Abanazar. But it's Derek Elroy's Ma Twankey whose dubious morality and Jamaican falsetto steal the show. Okay, so the magic lamp looks like a gold-plated gravy boat and you'll have to wait until the near-end for some 'oh no he didn't' antics. But there's enough hidden treasure in this 'Aladdin' to keep young audiences entertained.
