Paul Holman, producer of the pantomime, said “We are delighted to have been able to secure two of today’s top pop stars, from leading boy and girl bands: Ritchie, in the title role of Aladdin, and his

partner Natasha as Slave of the Ring. Their vocal and acting strengths will bring high energy and strong audience appeal to the star-studded pantomime production at Derby’s amazing new Arena.”

Ritchie Neville is best known for being a member one of 5ive. They stormed the charts continually, securing the coveted number one chart spot in the UK, Europe and Asia.

To the delight of 5ivers (their fans) all over the world, Ritchie and his band reformed in 2013 for ITV2’s The Big Reunion show. Following the series, 5ive embarked on their first world-tour in nearly a

decade, which sold out within hours of going on sale.
