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.
