Short synopsis
- Synopsis
- Characters
Princess Zara is unhappy about Aladdin keeping the magic lamp on display. It reminds her of Abanazar, the evil magician who tried to seal it. Meanwhile, Crossbones, the pirate, plans to rob their palace.
Sinbad arrives and Jasmine is upset to learn he has a new girlfriend. This turns out to be Molly, a mischievous monkey.
Semolina and Ali think the old lamp is rubbish to be thrown away and keep it to sell at the boot sale. When they discover the pirates plan, Crossbones hauls them off to his ship. Aladdin is convinced the lamp was the real reason for the robbery.
Sinbad sets sail to retrieve it and rescue his mum and brother. This he does, but when a sea serpent attacks they find themselves shipwrecked on a desert island. The same island to which Abanazar has been banished! He can’t believe his luck when he discovers the magic lamp within his grasp again and tricks Semolina into parting with it. Before he can carry out his evil plan, the lamp gets rubbed and the Genie appears. He grants their wishes by disposing of Abanazar and turning Crossbones into a goodie with an eye for Semolina!

Frequently asked questions
Can we try before we buy?
Of course! All our plays and pantomimes have a free Preview Script available for download as an A4 pdf file that contains 60-75% of the full script. If you like what you read then you can buy an inexpensive e-script of the entire play (typically less than half the cost of a traditional printed script) which is licensed to you for your personal use. Purchasing a script copying licence allows you to make just enough copies to support rehearsals and performances.
All our musicals are included in our perusal service. Through this, representatives of producing organisations can request a USB Stick of perusal material which comprise the script/libretto and piano/vocal score as PDF files; a Cast (or Studio) Recording as MP3 files and (where available) an MP4 file video of either the premiere production or of a subsequent production.
Some titles have the facility to read the entire script online on our website.
Do we need a Licence To Perform?
The simple answer is, yes.
Under the international laws of copyright, you must be in possession of a valid, unexpired licence before performing any piece of theatre unless the owner or managers of the copyright has waived their rights.
Why do you insist on providing a formal royalties quotation?
When you request a quotation, it is logged in our system, it forms part of an orderly queue and protects your place in that queue should multiple licensing requests occur for the same show.
