You won't need a magic lamp to discover a whole new world on Broadway.  Disney’s Aladdin,  brings the beloved animated film to dazzling life on stage. Now in its ninth year on Broadway, Aladdin whisks audiences away on a high adventure filled with romance, laughter, and unforgettable spectacle.

What’s the story? Aladdin is a lovable street rat with big dreams, who stumbles upon a magical lamp and a larger-than-life Genie who can grant three wishes.

Since its opened on Broadway on March 20, 2014, Aladdin has enchanted critics and audiences alike, earning a Tony Award for ‘Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical’ for James Monroe Iglehart's portrayal of the Genie. 

The show also received nominations for ‘Best Musical,’ ‘Best Book of a Musical,’ and ‘Best Original Score,’ along with a Grammy nomination for ‘Best Musical Theater Album.’ Its colorful set designs, lavish costumes, and incredible staging have made Aladdin a visually stunning experience that leaves audiences in awe. And did we mention the magic carpet...?

Featuring timeless songs from the original film like “A Whole New World,” “Friend Like Me,” and “Prince Ali,” plus new songs written by Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, Tim Rice, and Chad Beguelin, Aladdin enchants theatergoers of all ages and brings Agrabah to life in a way that only Broadway can.

Directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Casey Nicholaw, Aladdin first found success in Toronto before transferring to Broadway, where it has continued to captivate audiences from around the world. Productions have since launched in London’s West End, Tokyo, Sydney, and more, cementing its status as a global hit.

Whether you grew up with the Disney classic or are discovering it for the first time, Aladdin offers a magical escape that’s fun for the entire family. With its themes of love, courage, and adventure, it’s a perfect reminder that a whole new world is always just a wish away.

BWW Review: ALADDIN Diamond Edition DVD is 'Treasure Trove of Musical Theatre Goodies
by Matt Tamanini - October 13, 2015


In 1989, Disney revitalized both animation and musical theatre for generations to come with their Academy Award-winning film THE LITTLE MERMAID. They followed up that success with BEAUTY AND THE BEAST in 1991, which won another two Oscars, and then in 1992 they again broke the animated mold with ALADDIN, which took home two more trophies. Not only did these three films reinvigorate the nearly dead genre of animated musicals, but ALADDIN specifically inspired decades of films that were not only enjoyable to kids, but were also funny on another level that kept adults entertained as well.
