"This latest musical adapted from one of Disney’s popular movies defied my dour expectations...“Aladdin” has an infectious and only mildly syrupy spirit. Not to mention enough baubles, bangles and beading to keep a whole season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” contestants in runway attire." Full Review
"You're going to have a great time at Aladdin, despite its conflict-starved filler of a book. But are you really going for the dramaturgy? No, you're going to see sexy actors sing and dance while performing magic tricks. In that regard, Aladdin delivers in abundance." Full Review
"James Monroe Iglehart injects liveliness and humor into a merely tolerable stage adaptation of Disney’s animated hit 'Aladdin'." Full Review
"This super-costly extravaganza doesn't do justice to the movie, or to the spirit of the late Howard Ashman." Full Review
"Aside from the tonic of Iglehart’s djinn, however, Aladdin is short on magic." Full Review
"Score Aladdin a considerable win for Disney, likely to fill the New Amsterdam with happy crowds for seasons to come. Better than Little Mermaid, Aida and Tarzan, though not exactly a knockout." Full Review
"In Aladdin, the new Disney musical on Broadway, the genie grants theatergoers the first of their wishes – to be entertained." Full Review
"So why is Aladdin a bit of a chore? Even the best of what the writers offer doesn’t seem to stick very long; if it weren’t for Nicholaw’s merciless flogging, you feel the story would simply evaporate in the desert heat." Full Review
"It's not nearly as good as the movie, but it does have a terrific star, super-duper sets and sensational special effects." Full Review
"Everything else in Aladdin is, like the endlessly expansive desert in which it's set, dusty and unwelcoming." Full Review
"While it doesn't rival the imagination or innovation of "The Lion King," the show's ebullient comic spirit should make it a popular hit. It's not the most sophisticated entertainment, but the target demographic won't mind at all." Full Review
"The show is as colorful as the Crayola 64 box, and as tirelessly energetic as a toddler, but it also feels canned. While burning through wishes, you should ask for the musical to have a lot more heart. The absence is glaring, given that Disney excels at tugging at tickers and then making them melt." Full Review
"Much of the show just skedaddles along, hitting the plot points without enough oomph." Full Review
"The carpet flies, kids, and it's awesome...Such awesomeness, of course, is to be expected from "Aladdin." But what's a whole new world, as the song promises, is the almost modest, down-to-earth human scale of director-choreographer Casey Nicholaw's big, cheerful production -- an enjoyable throwback to old-time musical comedy." Full Review
"The show is a flavorless rehash of what's been done much better before." Full Review
"It may not be completely out of this world, but it will absolutely lift your spirits." Full Review
"Disney’s latest offering at the New Amsterdam Theatre, is simply . . . maaaahvelous! The costumes, the sets, the kitsch and comedic fun made me feel like a kid again." Full Review
"This version of 'Aladdin' will doubtless keep your kiddies happy; for adults, one would like to press Iglehart in the cause of conjuring a desert kingdom of richer enchantments." Full Review
"It's genie-us! 'Aladdin' rubs you the right way" Full Review
"Disney wanted something it could market not only to the parents-with-children crowd but also to date-night couples looking for a few laughs. Wish granted. " Full Review
"This larger-than-life, stunning visual production that sparkles on many levels really is a treat" Full Review
"Aladdin is frisky and fun, another demonstration of Disney professionalism." Full Review
"This big, busy, splashy family entertainment fits right in; it feels a bit generic, but it certainly delivers in terms of sheer eye-popping spectacle, and is sure to run and run." Full Review
"A lively and good-looking ensemble expertly undulates through the sometimes zany choreography." Full Review
"From where I sat, Aladdin was diverting, to be sure, but ultimately uninspired...it feels like a passable summer-stock production with a Broadway budget. The look is lush and colorful, but the production itself is sluggish and pedestrian." Full Review

Don't see it if seeking deep, mental-stimulation or a show that will have you mulling Big Ideas afterward; you don't like cheesy, PG-esque fare. Pure fluff.

Don't see it if you're a fuddy duddy
See it if you enjoy BIG disney action & script doesn't matter. Buyer beware: expected it to be more for kids than for adults. Humor is DEF for adults.
Don't see it if disney shtick, fluffy musicals, sappy love-stories, scenery-magic & big dance numbers do nothing for you. It's all here. Big feel-good nite.
See it if You enjoyed the original movie, love Alan Menken, classic Disney, Adam Jacobs, beautiful staging, and want to cry at "Proud of Your Boy"
Don't see it if You find new characters and songs unnecessary, slight plot detours irksome, or you're obsessive about the animated movie's perfection
See it if you want to see Disney spend the big money on effects
Don't see it if you expect depth of story or characters or anything beyond the movie
See it if You're a serious fan of the movie.
Don't see it if You're not willing to pay for good seats. It's a HUGE theater and you can barely see the stage from the cheap seats.
See it if you're a Disney fan and looking for family-friendly musical.
Don't see it if you expect it to be as good as the Lion King.
See it if you enjoy big magical Broadway shows. This is textbook in spectacle, great songs, lovely story.
Don't see it if you need a lot of depth or complexity in character. No room for that here.
See it if you are from out of town, love the film, have kids, and/or want a straightforward BROADWAY MUSICAL experience.
Don't see it if you're not up for presentational acting. This show glazes right over the darker corners of the story to keep the kids awake.
See it if you want to see a beloved fairy tale transformed into a cheap pointless cabaret. Can't beleive Disney fell this low.
Don't see it if you don't want to see a big tasteless farce. Princess lead singing is excruiciating.
See it if catchy Menken tunes, clever lyrics, lush orchestra, several show-stopping scenes, the new Genie is a baller
Don't see it if sets are cheesy (Disney you can afford better!), a few weak links among actors, groundbreaking movie w/ Robin W. is funnier
Also We saw Aladdin by winning the show's lottery. Disney placed us in part... Read more Read less
See it if you want a fun night out with the young ones. The movie came out when I was a kid so I had an alright time, too.
Don't see it if you want to see the movie. The changes definitely make it feel very different. Also, there are better things going on, for sure, for less.
See it if you like colour and prettiness
Don't see it if you don't care for Disney
See it if You're a fan of sparkles! Costumes are really the only great thing about the show. The opening of Act 2 & A Whole New World are redeeming.
Don't see it if You were a fan of the film. This musical is very disappointing. When I wasn't asleep I was bored! I left right after A Whole New World.
See it if must see a stage version of every show ever produced by Disney. But the carpet ride is worth it. How did they do that?
Don't see it if you want your theatre experience to have more "meat" on it.
See it if you loved the movie
Don't see it if you didn't love the movie
See it if Watch the movie instead. Way more magical. (The flying carpet here is pretty cool, though).
Don't see it if you value your money. Seriously just watch the movie - the changes they've made here add nothing, and often detract from the story.
Also How did something so expensive wind up looking so cheap? A massive ste... Read more Read less
