Producers at RED Entertainment in association with Prime Pantomimes & the New Theatre, Peterborough have announced a further three stars for this year’s high flying pantomime adventure, Aladdin.

Joining previously announced Rufus Hound, will be Pantomime royalty Bobby Crush as Widow Twankey, singing sensation Sabrina Washington as Princess Jasmine, and comedian Ricky K as Wishee Washee.

Pantomime royalty, Bobby Crush, who was recently inducted into the “Panto Hall of Fame,” joining the likes of Christopher Biggins, The Krankies and John Barrowman will be performing his 37th pantomime in Peterborough.

       

Bobby Crush is a legendary pantomime performer, singer, and songwriter. Bobby’s biggest hit as a songwriter was writing the music and lyrics for Keith Harris and Orville’s hit “Orville’s Song” (also known as “I Wish I Could Fly”), which went to No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart, sold a quarter of a million copies, and earned him a silver disc.

Sabrina Washington rose to global fame as the lead singer and songwriter of multi-platinum trio Mis-Teeq, best known for the single ‘Scandelous’, they became one of Britain’s most well-known pop icons. Sabrina has had 12 Top 10 hits in her two-decade career, including seven as a member of Mis-Teeq and five as a solo artist (three of which reached No. 1 in 13 countries and won Record of the Year in Poland!)
