THE ultimate pantomime dame is to take her final bow at The Mayflower this Christmas.
TV presenter Paul O’Grady is to bring his alter ego, much-loved drag star Lily Savage, back for one last outing in Aladdin – A Wish Come True.
This rare – and last - stage appearance will be for 37 performances only in December 2010 and January 2011.
Lily plays one of the greatest dames in pantomime and creates a new and updated version of the story of Widow Twankey and her son Aladdin, who inherit a laundry in old Peking which quickly leads to a tale of adventure, mishap, love, comedy and magic carpet rides.
