Kids and their families filled Laguna Playhouse at the opening night of the “Aladdin and His Winter Wish,” a panto where the audience participates in the show.

Before the curtain went up, Becky Lythgoe, of Lythgoe Family Panto, encouraged the audience to shout and participate.

Kids in the audience took the cue, booing the evil Abanazar, and cheering for Aladdin (Jason Gotay) and his Princess (Kira Kosarin), and singing along to the songs. At the end of Act 2, lots of kids with Golden Tickets joined the cast on stage.

Dancing and music excited the audience’s younger members, while adults enjoyed the show’s topical humor.

The show runs through Dec. 31. For info: contact 949 427-2787.
