Charlotte Dawson announces starring role in Blackpool Pleasure Beach pantomime

Les Dawson’s daughter, 31, is joining the cast of Aladdin at The Globe theatre at Pleasure Beach Resort this November.

It’s the third consecutive year the former Ex On The Beach and Celebs Go Dating star has performed panto at Pleasure Beach to rave reviews. This year, the usually glamorous Charlotte will undergo a wicked transformation to play Abanazar, an evil sorceress hell-bent on stealing the genie’s magical lamp.

Charlotte said: “I feel like the stage is where I belong and performing is something I love, so I can’t wait to be back in costume making people laugh. Last year when I performed I’d just had a baby which was a bit of a challenge, so this time around I feel ready for anything.

“I’m so excited to be starring in Aladdin at my favourite place, Pleasure Beach Resort – it makes it extra special. Let’s bring on the chuffing panto magic!”

Amanda Thompson, chief executive of Pleasure Beach Resort and Executive Producer of Aladdin, said: “We’re thrilled to be welcoming Charlotte back to our stage performing in Aladdin at The Globe. Charlotte is a firm favourite with our audiences and brings an impeccable mix of glamour and comedy. We’ve lots of surprises still to come and we can’t wait to showcase yet another production that we’re truly proud of. This is one pantomime not to miss!” 

Aladdin is being produced by Stageworks Worldwide Productions and directed by West End performer Alexa Robinson.
