Aladdin The Musical

Based on the 1992 Disney animated movie of the same name, Aladdin on Broadway is an enormous hit with audiences and an homage to the original songs from the film, interpolated just as enthusiastically for returning fans who adore the 1992 staple musical. Music is by Alan Menken with lyrics by the late Howard Ashman, Tim Rice, and Chad Beguelin, who also wrote the book that ricochets brilliantly around the theatre, taking both old and new audiences to a whole new world of family entertainment.

The musical adaptation for Broadway translates the story and magic of the animated film for the stage, but it also offers audiences something more. Sublime sets and colorful costumes bring the fantasy of the beloved movie to the stage in a way that can never be forgotten. In addition to the quality of the production and entertainment value, the energy through which every musical number is performed ensures that audiences leave séduit and enthralled, just as Ali had hoped.

You probably know the story: it’s set in the fictional Arabian city of Agrabah, where Aladdin, who scavenges scraps from street vendors but craves to prove his worth as more than a street urchin, meets Princess Jasmine, who has asked her father, the Sultan, to allow her to marry a commoner by her 18th birthday, in three days.

Upon receiving his three wishes from Genie after obtaining the magic lamp therein, Aladdin’s first wish is to become a prince and woo Jasmine. Seduced by love, the hilarious hijinks and minutiae of adventures causing delays, their love story ultimately comes to a head when Aladdin is able to execute his final wish to free Genie from the lamp in exchange for his hard-earned love and ascension over his nemesis, Jafar.
