Discover a whole new world with Aladdin, a musical comedy hailed by USA Today as “pure genie-us.” Adapted from the 1992 Disney movie of the same name, Aladdin takes you on a magical (carpet) ride filled with breathtaking beauty, spectacular dance, and enchanting song. Tickets have been flying fast since the show premiered in 2011, so don’t wait long to see this extraordinary theatrical event for yourself.
Set in the Middle Eastern city of Agrabah, the show tells the story of a charismatic “street rat” named Aladdin and a beautiful princess named Jasmine, both of whom wish for lives that are different from their own. When they unexpectedly meet, the chemistry is undeniable, but they know their situations mean they’ll never be together. That is, until Aladdin stumbles upon a magic lamp, releasing a Genie who promises to fulfill 3 wishes. What follows is a colorful tale of romance, power, and deception—and ultimately, what we’re willing to do for those we love.
First premiering in Seattle in 2011 and then on Broadway in 2014, Aladdin has since become a perennial family-friendly favorite. The captivating production features familiar songs such as “Friend Like Me” and “A Whole New World,” as well as new music written by Chad Beguelin and Tim Rice. Together with dazzling costumes and special effects, Aladdin is a sparkling feast for the senses. With tickets being sold for shows at New York City’s New Amsterdam Theatre and across the United States in 2018, now is the perfect time to treat the entire family to a show you won’t soon forget.
