There's a staggering 200 costumes in Aladdin!

Aladdin is well into its run here and receiving spectacular 5* reviews.  But while the show continues to wow audiences on the main stage there’s a really big show going on behind the scenes in wardrobe.

Tony Priestley, Head of Wardrobe for Qdos, looks after a staggering 200 costumes which have been specially made for this year’s production.

Every day Tony is in early prepping for that day’s performance.   His team are constantly sewing, ironing and washing to make sure that the costumes dazzle every day.

There are more than 150 pairs of shoes and 30 wigs including the 9 costume changes Julian Clary has.

Tony said “It’s a big show and the costumes look amazing.   The stars are thrilled to be the first to wear them.”

The costumes arrived with the set in 7 40ft articulated lorries “It took hours to bring in the costumes but all the hard work has been worth it.”

Aladdin runs until 31 January.
