Pammie to play Genie in Aladdin

London, (ANI): Pamela Anderson will play the role of Genie in a pantomime production of Aladdin in London. The former Baywatch star will perform her two-week spell around Christmas at the New Wimbledon Theatre. The 42-year-old will share the space with stage veteran Brian Blessed who will play the evil Abanazar, reports the Sun.

But her stint in the British capital may not help boost her finances, according to reports. The star was alleged to be in financial trouble after splashing 5 million pounds on her Malibu home. Panto producer Kevin Wood tagged her appearance "a major coup".
