Yorksheather Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Great to see that Gareth will be playing Aladdin at Milton Keynes I presume they are going to have the news updated today , maybe one of the panto press days , so maybe lots of pics . http://www.ffe-uk.com/season.php?venueid=54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I certainly can't find any info re the cast yet. Only the Buy Tickets. Think Ali must have jumped the gun a bit Not going to be home today, so hopefully by the time I get back there will be more details available.

Snowdrop Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Is Milton Keynes handy for you Maria? It's another one that I won't make it to, but it's nice for people who live nearby. By the way, it's a typo on the Facebook announcement. The page for tickets is www.agtickets.com/milton-keynes-theatre The pages specifically for their pantomime is here. I wonder if Gareth is playing Aladin, which will be a bigger part than either of the Prince Charmings he's done before, so more of a challenge for him.

Guest NicolaJayne Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Thia is brilliant news Maria and I am lucky that Milton Keyes is not too far from me. Gareth will make a fantastic Aladdin :jump: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorral Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I wonder if Gareth is playing Aladin Gareth Gates will star as Aladdin in the MK Theatre panto this Christmas! Thanks Maria for the info. Living in Manchester it's a lot easier and cheaper to commute to MK,no overnight stay.If it is that Gareth had to do another panto,then it's a perfect location for Mancunions. http://t.co/EP6Kr7E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValR Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks for the link Doris http://www.mk-news.c...re-17082011.htm That's a very good write up for Gareth , I'm unsure about the costume yet . Not too keen on the costume either! I would have preferred Gareth in another West End show but I'm pleased we have something to go and see, hopefully lots of singing in it as well.

eternal Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks for all the news and links for the panto. I too would have preferred a West End Role but Gareth seems to want this challenge yet again. Good for him to push himself. I see the theatre can hold up to 1400 people so times that by so many shows and that is an awfull lot of people seeing Gareth singing and speaking I'm not keen on the outfit either. Wonder if he likes it? Milton Keynes seems a good location for many so this may give lots of fans the opportunity to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maria_1981 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks for posting the pic Doris I'm not too sure about the contume yet either but me personally would of course prefer him to have the bare chested Aladdin like in the film lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks so much Maria for posting this and Doris for the pic. I will have to see how far MK is for me. Glad you can go Elaine, and hope some of you others can make it too. I think the colour of the costume is a bit startling, but it may grow on me!

lindajan Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Really pleased to read about the panto. Of course I also want Gareth to do more musical theatre and his album, but I think that he enjoys the fun of panto enormously. Milton Keynes is much easier for me to get to, although I did go to Wimbledon and Woking. In fact it is quite close to my Mum and sister, so definitely intend to go. As for the costume, it needs to be Chinese in character and the yellow background in the photo doesn't help much. It may not be what he wears in performance anyway, as the publicity pics for his other pantos showed him in different costumes, I think.

GPG MY IDOL Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks for the info Maria, something else to look forward to I shall have to get booked up and thanks Doris for the lovely pic, the costume a bit ... but Gareth looking absolutely gorgeous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Contrary to everyone else's opinion, I like the costume Makes a change from all the regal ones he's worn in everything else.

This year’s fun-packed family pantomime opens at Milton Keynes Theatre on December 9 and Gareth will be joined by the hilarious 2010’s Britain’s Got Talent finalist Paul Burling as Wishee Washee. Paul became a firm favourite with judges and public alike for his side-splitting comedy routines, most memorably his uncanny impersonation of Harry Hill. The original Gareth has appeared in Les Mis and Joseph as well as donning sequins and lycra for TV’s Dancing on Ice, He said: “I’m really looking forward to playing Aladdin this year and bringing lots of fun and laughs to the stage at Milton Keynes Theatre.” Aladdin runs from December 9 to January 15.

KGates Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 It's great to see a pic of Gareth in his costume, thank you for posting.. I don't mind it actually think it looks good, although it does look similar to something I put together once in my textiles class back in High school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternal Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Is anyone able to alert Ali (Gareth's manager) that the link posted on facebook is incorrect? It doesn't take you through to details or ticketing. The tickets seem to be selling fast so we need to make sure all Gareth fans can see the link to get them.
