Aladdin brings magic to Canal Walk this winter school holiday
This winter school holiday, Canal Walk's Centre Court will transform into a magical Arabian wonderland as its popular annual theatre production returns with 'Aladdin'.
From 28 June to 20 July, families can experience the enchantment of the Arabian Nights with a captivating live show, packed with music, humour and spectacle.
Set in the bustling streets of old Baghdad, this timeless tale follows Aladdin, a hopeful dreamer whose life is turned upside down when he finds a magical lamp.
Expect flying carpets, hidden treasures, a mischievous Genie and a story of courage and second chances that's sure to entertain all ages.
The 55‑minute production will run three times a day, at 11am, 12.30pm and 2pm, with no shows on Mondays.
Tickets start from R110 per person and can be booked via Webtickets. The show is suitable for all ages, with under‑twos admitted free if seated on an adult's lap.
More than just a memorable day out, this year's production gives back to the local community. A portion of every ticket and programme sold will benefit The Reach Trust, supporting early childhood development and digital literacy in underserved communities across Cape Town.
As The Reach Trust CEO Andrew Rudge explains, 'Each ticket helps connect young children to learning opportunities – it's entertainment with real impact.'
