NEW faces will take to the stage when a town's pantomime group puts on Aladdin.

The production, by Llangollen Pantomime Group, will fly on to stage at Llangollen Pavilion on January 17 and will run until January 20.

Among the newcomers is Riah Andrews who plays Princess Jasmine opposite Sophie Preston in the title role.

Simon Orton-Jones, director, said: “We’re delighted to welcome new members to the pantomime group this year which is refreshing the feel of the show.

"Everyone is working hard to make this show the best yet.”

Llangollen Pantomime Group was started by St Collen’s Church more than 30 years ago.

The show will be packed full of traditional fun, well known songs and West End-style technical effects.

Aladdin opens on Thursday with evening performances until Saturday and matinees on Saturday and Sunday.
