Pop icon Davy Jones of The Monkees stars in this holiday season's hilarious musical extravaganza Aladdin, presented by Jude Parry's acclaimed Gold Coast Theatre Company. Performed in the classic British Panto style, the Theater Company offers a comedic, over-the-top fairytale, packed with slapstick, topical gags and audience participation. The entire family will enjoy the magical tale filled with danger, greed, honesty and romance, a despicable villain, a charming prince and a beautiful princess. Performances are at 3 and 7 p.m., and tickets are $15. The production moves to the Colony Theatre on Miami Beach on Sunday, December 30, for performances at 3 and 7 p.m. Pictured: Royal handmaiden Aminah (Monica Hertzbach) watches in astonishment as the Good Fairy (Jude Parry) conjures Davy Jones out of thin air just in time to play the role of Aladdin in this year's British 'Panto' show!
