Stuck for a last-minute Father’s Day gift? Skip the novelty socks and treat him to a night out instead! We’ve paired some upcoming Aberdeen Arts Centre shows with iconic theatre dads so you can find a pick that suits him perfectly.
👑 KING TRITON FROM THE LITTLE MERMAID would love... Frozen by Phoenix Youth Theatre
Strong, protective, and secretly soft, Triton understands complicated family dynamics. Frozen’s story of love, fear, and letting go would hit him right in the feels – even if he insists he’s just there for the special effects.
👔 GEORGE BANKS FROM MARY POPPINS would love... 24 Hour Musical by Feed The Seagull Productions
George thrives on order, but what he really needs is a shake-up. A full musical created in just 24 hours? It’s exactly the kind of spirited chaos that would win him over, and remind him how fun theatre can be.
💔 JEAN VALJEAN FROM LES mufasawould love... Les Misérables by Leading Lights
A father defined by love, sacrifice, and redemption, Valjean would be deeply moved revisiting his own story. Expect a few tears (and a standing ovation).
⚖️ ATTICUS FINCH FROM TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD would love... Ocean’s 3 & Aberdeen Jazz Orchestra: 321
Measured, thoughtful, and appreciative of craftsmanship, Atticus would enjoy the timeless appeal of this slick, big-band performance. With smooth vocals, sharp suits, and the full sound of a live jazz orchestra bringing classics from Sinatra to Bublé to life, it’s a show built on skill, style, and substance.
💸 MR WORMWOOD FROM MATILDA THE MUSICAL would love... Roy Orbison & The Traveling Wilburys Tribute Show
Flashy, loud, and full of personality, Mr Wormwood would be right at home with big hits and bold performances. He’d probably claim he knew every song before anyone else, too.
🦁 MUFASA FROM THE LION KING would love... The UK Rock Show
Powerful, commanding, and larger than life, Mufasa would appreciate the energy and impact of a live rock show. Big sound, big presence, and a performance that fills the room - just how he likes it.
