Re: Aladdin"
With all due respect, it is the chinese setting that makes the story of Aladdin. Could you imagine if a regional production of the Lion King was lacking BAME artists so decided to set it in the British countryside instead of the African Pridelands? This would take it so far way from it's original source material thus rendering it not the Lion King. I believe the same applies here with Aladdin. Also, how do we go about star names and panto pros? do we have enough chinese pantomime performers with experience of panto? maybe this is part of the problem but for the time being, I cannot see the chinese setting going anytime soon from Aladdin.
