ABOUT ALADDIN
The beloved story of Aladdin is brought to thrilling theatrical life in this bold new musical. With just one rub of a magic lamp, Aladdin's journey sweeps you into a whole new world full of daring adventure, classic comedy, and timeless romance.
Based on the much-loved 1992 animated classic, the Aladdin musical follows the title street urchin as he tries to win over Princess Jasmine. Though she loves him too, royal rules state that she must marry a prince. Aladdin becomes one with the help of a wish-granting Genie in a magic lamp, but before he and Jasmine can be together, he must defeat the evil Jafar, who wants Jasmine and the throne for himself.
The Disney musical is directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Casey Nicholaw, and composed by Tony Award winner Alan Menken. It features lyrics penned by the legendary Howard Ashman and Tony Award winner Tim Rice, with book and additional lyrics by Chad Beguelin. Aladdin also showcases an incomparable design team with exquisite sets, costumes, and lighting by multiple Tony Award winners Bob Crowley, Gregg Barnes, and Natasha Katz.
The current cast of “Aladdin” stars Michael Maliakel as Aladdin and Sonya Balsara as Jasmine, along with Michael James Scott as Genie and Dennis Stowe as Jafar. Rounding out the principal company are Milo Alosi as Kassim, Zach Bencal as Babkak, Brad Weinstock as Omar, JC Montgomery as Sultan and Don Darryl Rivera as Iago. Jeremy Gaston, Jared Wayne Gladly and Frank Viveros stand by for several principals. Casting is by Tara Rubin Casting.

I saw this show 8 yrs ago & still have great memories of it. Disney pulled out all the stops in renovating The New Amsterdam Theater, it is GORGEOUS. And the show is wonderful, "spectacle" is def. the right word for it. The costumes are the most dazzling I've ever seen in any show. And the energy is wonderful.

[@chuckoneill2023]

Disney put together an Aladdin show for their theme parks, that one used an Iago puppet, it ran for years in California.

[@lillithhickling7657]

I’m seeing Aladdin next month on tour and I’m so excited, it looks stunning! I would love to see a Tangled musical, I feel like there’s so many beautiful moments in the film that would translate so well to the stage

[@yankee04]

Thanks! Haven’t been to Aladdin. Disney should do Moana or Encanto next. There was an Encanto concert at the Hollywood Bowl with costumes and a set, so perhaps they re thinking about it.

Saw Aladdin in London in their final month at the Prince Edward. Saw Trevor Dion Nicholas as the Genie and made sure to see him in whatever show he's doing the time I'm visiting (which was just Hamilton and Next to Normal). Seeing Courtney Reed (OBC) as Jasmine was the highlight of the evening as I've been obsessed with the album for years. Really wish I could go see the tour and really hope someday the Pro-shot will be released from the vaults

[@barbaraz8264]

I think Encanto would make a great musical. Lots of characters and musical numbers!

[@touringaroundwithrosie]

Awesome, Hope to catch it again on the UK tour! 🎉

[@clairedeacon2178]

I would love to see Encanto or Coco turned into a Musical

[@lucygittins7896]

I'd love to see Mulan

[@ren598]

I'd like to see Tangled on a Broadway stage.

[@DerekMckean]

I was lucky to see Haunchback of Notre Dame here in Seattle. Unfortunately, unlike Aladdin which went straight to Broadway from the 5th Avenue Theatre, Haunchback did not transfer to Broadway. Also, the the thing about Haunchback is that the musical has seened to not use Disney in the title. The cast recording also doesnt say Disney. It just says 'based in the Victor Hugo and songs from the Disney film."

[@callalily3994]

I love the New Amsterdam Theatre. When Mary Poppins was there, that was possibly the best combination of show and theatre aesthetic that I've ever seen -- it just worked perfectly together.

[@lindakahler4799]

I went to Disney University and was a cast member thirty years ago. Aeron is right. Great attention to detail which is noticeable even moreso if a cast member. I still have my I D pin. I would love to see Snow White as a musical. Might be issues as Someday. My Prince will come but I love it

[@amycarcaterra8177]

Saw it in june of 2019. It was so much fun afternoon. i had Katie Terza on as Jasmine she was magical def triple threat. her and ainsley melham were brillant together. how can you not smile and dance with michael james scott. two added songs "These Palace Walls" & "A Million Miles Away". Alan Menken should have kept the original arrangement for "A Whole New World" instead of the new one for the musical. i wish they kept abo. but a good musical & family show. New Amsterdam theatre is haunted. Broadway Ushers want to bring back Beauty and the Beast. Mary Poppins was amazing there.

[@ryandunbar6507]

Aladdin on tour is gorgeous. The tour genie is so so good. I personally felt that kassim is the strongest character of Aladdin's friends but we had nay nay and they killed it. Proud of your boy is so gorgeous. I must admit I have only seen lion king and Aladdin Disney musicals and lion king is definitely the stronger for me. As for iago the one we had I genuinely dont think he would have been as good as a parrot version. Such a good show.

[@natashakingston8302]

I would love to see aristocats stage adaptation

[@IshScout]

Fun Fact: When I saw Aladdin on the US Tour it was the only time I was told to stop recording the curtain call (by the conductor mid bows. I was front row & he was waving like mad at me verrrrry strange) I'm glad I have been able to see most of the Disney shows minus Tarzan, Mermaid, Hunchback, & Herc (obviously the last 2 being very limited in runs) as a HUGE Disney fanboy myself there really is nothing like Disney magic on stage. Hoping we see more recent films like Coco & Encanto get some sort of stage adaptation even if just at the theme parks. (I love Beauty & The Beast at Hollywood Studios but I think it's time for a change)

[@kathleenewing3673]

I've heard Coco is next, but I want Encanto too.

[@DJWhovian]

You've mentioned the Follies a few times but I don't really know much about them, where they a dance troupe or a company?

[@natashakingston8302]

I've never seen it. I was wondering whether it was worth seeing. Are you seeing Disney on ice on tour next year?

[@emhu2594]

I want to see Pocohantas. The music is incredible and the plot has a lot of room for improvement. A musical version update could fix a lot of its problems.

[@susanpolastaples9688]

Moana or Brave new musicials,

[@susanpolastaples9688]

Did Mickey get 5he geni bear?

[@AeronJames]

He didn’t! If we see the tour I can see him giving in…
