About the Show

Disney's stage adaptation features hit songs from the film, plus several new songs for Broadway.

As in the 1992 animated Disney film, Aladdin, a beggar on the streets of Agrabah, has been granted three wishes by a magic genie. He'll use them to woo the beautiful princess Jasmine and save the kingdom from an evil sorcerer. In typical Disney fashion, the musical has many stage effects (84 to be exact), big dance numbers, and a fairytale ending.

The score with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman, Tim Rice, and Chad Beguelin includes the songs 'Friend Like Me' and 'A Whole New World.'

The show premiered in Seattle in 2011 and has been on Broadway at Disney's New Amsterdam Theatre since 2014.

Don't see it if you are expecting it to be just like the film and if you do not like jokes

Delightful, Great staging, Funny, Entertaining, Great singing

See it if You're a fan of Disney and dancing!

Don't see it if See it if you can afford it!

Enchanting, Overrated, Cheesy, Initially disappointing, Gets better later on

See it if You can tolerate 30+ minutes of boredom before the genie appears and the show gets to be fun - it’s incredible when he’s doing his thing.

Don't see it if You think a bunch of cheesy NYC in jokes & boring bits with extra characters (al’s friends) that weren’t in the movie will ruin it for you. Read more

Funny, Quirky, Great staging

See it if you love the movie Aladdin. It's a Disney show, so you know it's going to be larger than life. Thankfully, the show holds up.

Don't see it if you don't like children's shows. Again, it's Disney and the show is directed purely at adults. Overall, solid production if a bit hyper.

Entertaining, Funny, Fluffy

See it if You like Disney shows with lots of great dancing and beautiful sparkly costumes.

Don't see it if You hate Disney - you know what you're getting with this if you know the movie.

Enchanting, Entertaining, Indulgent, Great staging, Romantic

See it if you like Disney musicals

Don't see it if you want something more original

Clever, Entertaining, Great singing, Great acting

See it if You like the story, like to sit back and be entertained. It's cleverly staged and is fun.

Don't see it if You aren't a Disney fan.

Delightful, Refreshing, Great for kids, Romantic, Great singing

See it if You expect the movie and it's ability to do crazy things with carpets and genii's; you want something edgy or thought provoking

Don't see it if You don't like fluffy, light entertainment that has a happy ending; you want edge of your seat singing and acting,
