EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1960s at the Palace Theatre in Manchester. It captures a moment of camaraderie and creativity as the principals of Aladdin gather for script reading and rehearsals. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and excitement, evident on their faces. At the center of attention stands Des O'Connor, who takes on the role of Aladdin. With his charming smile, he exudes confidence as he temporarily steps away from his lead role to play pianist during a rehearsal break. To his left are Angela, June, and Anne Barry, portraying Tai Ping, Princess Yasmin, and So Shy respectively. Their elegant presence adds an air of grace to the scene. On Des O'Connor's right stands Freddie Garrity, known for his involvement with Freddie and The Dreamers fame. He brings energy to Wishee Washee's character through his playful expression. Completing this talented ensemble is Billy Dainty as Widow Twankey; one can only imagine how he will bring laughter to audiences with his comedic skills. This photograph serves as a time capsule capturing not just a moment in theatrical history but also showcasing the collaboration between renowned performers who brought joy to countless theatergoers during Christmas season pantomimes like Aladdin. Roy Spencer's lens immortalizes these cherished memories that continue to resonate with fans of traditional stage entertainment today.
