AladdinOne of the benefits of working for a radio station is that we get nice freebies every now and then. Yesterday, we all took the afternoon off work and wandered round to the theatre where we had free tickets to Aladdin. And not just tickets to the show, but a VIP room beforehand and during the interval with free drinks and food. And what made it feel really special was being able to just walk through to the auditorium without needing to show tickets or passes because, in the words of one staff member, “we know who you are – you don’t need a ticket”.

I’ve never been to a pantomime before, not even as a kid, so I didn’t really know what to expect from the performance, but it was certainly enjoyable. I’m actually looking forward to taking my daughter to a show when she’s old enough.
