Wearing special 3D glasses the audience will see the Genie rise from his lamp and move around the auditorium as he interacts with the crowd and cast on stage.
Further visual wizardry will transform the stage into a 3D cave of riches, where Aladdin finds his fortune and you can join the cast on a 3D magic carpet ride to Abanazar’s lair.
Christopher Biggins said: “I'm thrilled to be taking my Widow Twanky to the Theatre Royal Plymouth - a theatre I adore and I know every one will be on the edge of their seat with my larger than life performance!”
