Tonight I'm headed out to the Pasadena Playhouse to see Aladdin and his Winter Wish.

An Arabian Nights story performed as a British-style "panto" to celebrate the winter holidays seems pretty unlikely, but the Playhouse has had some rather ingenious sucesses litle by just this kind of "thinking outside the box." Case in point - my favorite production of last year was "A Night with Janis Joplin," followed by Cirque-a-Palooza, both at the Pasadena Playhouse. So I'm goin' in with an open mind, and I'll let y'all know how it woks out.
