"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
"James Monroe Iglehart injects liveliness and humor into a merely tolerable stage adaptation of Disney’s animated hit 'Aladdin'." 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
"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
"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
"In Aladdin, the new Disney musical on Broadway, the genie grants theatergoers the first of their wishes – to be entertained." 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
"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
"Much of the show just skedaddles along, hitting the plot points without enough oomph." 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
"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
"It may not be completely out of this world, but it will absolutely lift your spirits." Full Review
"The show is a flavorless rehash of what's been done much better before." 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
"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
"It's genie-us! 'Aladdin' rubs you the right way" 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

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.

Don't see it if you're expecting something special like lion king or beauty & the beast from years ago. this disney production bombs.

See it if you like Disney musicals or you have a young child.
Don't see it if you're a purist when compared to the movie. There are too many changes, not for the better.
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.
