by Ann on 3/15/24New Amsterdam Theatre - New YorkI recommend everyone should see this musical. I have been waiting to see this for quite some time. I highly recommend it.
Disney’s ALADDIN is a dazzling and extravagant showcase of special effects — including a flying magic carpet during “A Whole New World” — as well as glittering-gold costumes and art deco-style sets that mirror the grandeur of a Busby Berkeley musical. One of Broadway’s most popular musical comedies, the show opened at the legendary New Amsterdam Theatre on March 20, 2014, and has since broken numerous house records (grossing over $500 million on Broadway). Eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken composed the show’s music. The lyrics are by two-time Oscar winner Howard Ashman (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid), as well as three-time Tony Award and three-time Oscar winner Tim Rice and six-time Tony Award nominee Chad Beguelin. The book is by Beguelin and direction/choreography is by two-time Tony Award-winner Casey Nicholaw.

I recommend everyone should see this musical. I have been waiting to see this for quite some time. I highly recommend it.
The show was magical! We went with girl scouts and the Q&A with the cast after the show was very special. The theater is gorgeous! The only bummer was the upper balcony seats on the side were on a hill and SLOPED. So we were leaning sideways while watching the performance. Flying on the magic carpet was so cool!
This was the first time I've seen this play and I was so glad I decided to see it. I saw the actor who plays the genie on Good Morning America and was captivated. We sat on the second row and I was smiling, clapping and laughing throughout the play. Go if you get the chance.
I enjoyed it very much and definitely recommend it ❤️
I really enjoyed it and would like to use it again if I have the opportunity.
I introduced my boyfriend to broadway about a year ago with the timeless classic Lion King and not surprisingly he loved it! So he wanted to see Allison this time:..I read reviews and they were I guess mostly ok but the negative ones did worry me a bit because I didn’t want to taint his first experience…..I DID NOT HAVE TO WORRY! we both LOVED it. At first we were disappointed that there was no Abu but the creative way Disney made up for that was both hilarious and spectacularly well done with the characters. Everyone raves about the genie (and don’t get me wrong so do I - I literally had to do a double take because the guys is exactly like one my friends - genie is super talented, so enthusiastic and just such a joy to watch and laugh to) BUT let me tell you, the rest of the actors and characters are TOP TIER. Yago the ‘parrot’ was amazing! And let me tell you…Alladin’s voice was indescribable. SUPER SUPER talented people. Stop reading and go book your tickets! Oh and if that didn’t convince you…let me just say… you NEED TO SEE THE MAGIC CARPET RIDE 😍
Music, costume, acting, singing and dancing.. every part of it was amazing!
Loved it from start to finish! The Genie was definitely the highlight though the whole cast was top notch. Highly recommend. We watched the 2019 and 1992 movies as preparation which was a fun lead up to the show.
Familiar songs that we loved. New songs to enhance the story. Well done.
Good music and great cast. A lot of fun. Funny and very entertaining.
It was an outstanding show from beginning to end . Actors ,Costumes, performance, scenes . Everything !!! Took my 2 granddaughters ages 2 and 4 and they were mesmerized . I can’t say enough about it .
This was my second time seeing it and Frankly I was disappointed. Seems like they added more dancing scenes and took away some of the storytelling.
Beyond my expectations!! This was such an amazing show! The kids loved it but I’m confident the adults loved it even more! My all time favorite. A must see!
We were 2 adults et 2 teenagers and everybody loved it. Don't waste time and go to see it!
The music, acting, stage magic and choreography were all stunning. The new songs added were fun and relevant to the storyline. Enjoyed the new characters and would love to watch over and over if I could.
I really liked Aladdin & thought it was a great performance. My favourite character was Jafar or his sidekick, and Jafar’s costume change at the end was incredible. I think the best way to describe this show is Pantomime style- while it’s Broadway - and Broadway budget - it is more panto than musical theatre. As a Disney show in the pantomime style, it’s always going to be child friendly but I think this show is particularly child centric. Children and families will love it, but I’d reconsider if you’re an adult going alone or as a group of adults. In terms of the actual theatre experience, it was mixed. The theatre was very grand and beautiful inside, but seems to have many more seats than it should. Allowed? Yes. Sensible? Not sure. It basically means that legroom is not possible- I am 5ft 7in and couldn’t put my feet flat on the ground. The additional seats also lead to significant blockages in the lobbies and restrooms and also to staff becoming stressed at times.
Theatre is loverly. This was the reason we booked this show. Chairs were a bit cramped and low to the ground. Show itself was entertaining but the sounds was really bad. At the beginning I thought they were not singing live. We were located on the 1st balcony, 1st row in the middle. I the Netherlands we also have great sows so maybe we are spoiled. Wouldn't go again but it was a fun night out.
I bought tickets the morning of the show. I am so glad I did, we had excellent seats. Although we had a technical issue with the show in the first half this was soon remedied and the show went in. I cannot remember an evening so thoroughly enjoyable.
Next time center seats at the Amsterdam theater but the performance was absolutely spectacular. The genie killed it!!!!
During our recent trip to NYC, I, a self-professed Disney devotee, found myself lured into the glittering world of Broadway to witness Aladdin's magic. To my dismay, the enchantment fell short. As the curtains rose, I braced myself for a carpet ride of nostalgia and wonder, only to be met with a lackluster rendition that left me pining for the animated classic. Fate decided to cast us with the understudy for Jasmine, whose performance was akin to a wilted flower in a desert storm—lackluster, uninspired, and genuinely exhausting to endure. While there were fleeting moments of brilliance that momentarily illuminated the stage, they were like mirages in the vast expanse of mediocrity. The magic lamp may have shimmered, but its contents failed to grant the wish of a truly unforgettable theatrical experience.
