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.

Great show, very funny, wonderful costumes! Just the Musical's finale could have been much more mind-blowing - just like its start!
This play was exciting, entertaining, and captivating from beginning to end! All the players did an outstanding job! The Genie was high energy and captivating! I just wanted to go on stage and join the fun!
Just awesome! The colors and the costumes.....the special effects.....Aladdin has always been my favorite movie and the play did it justice!
Fantastic! Awesume ! Fun ! Genie really stole the show. Fajar and sidekick Iago were great. The choreography was energetic and the costume changes was amazing. Wish we could see it again and again and again. I must also say that the New Amsterdam Theater was lovingly restored to its 1903 art-deco style, and it's well suited to have Alladdin's performances there.
Disney magic at it's best...high energy and so entertaining
From the moment it started it was amazing, the costumes, sets, music and of course Genie. I took my 7year old daughter and she sat with a smile on the edge of her seat the entire time. I am so happy we went it was well worth it. It was a great interpretation of the story and it was portrayed in spectacular form.
It was a beautiful show. The cast, scenery, costumes and execution by the cast members was beautiful. Loved the magic carpet!
I went into ALADDIN expecting to be blown away, but left a little disappointed. Vocally; the cast was great... The magic carpet ride wasfantastic. Unfortunately the dance routines were lacking. At times the choreagraphy was all over the place. If this was intentional, it did not appear so... The synchronization was way off. I thought by waiting for the previews to end it would have given the cast enough time to get through all the kinks, but this was not the case.
It was fun right from the start. The costumes and sets were colorful and the actors were all first class. The fellow that plays Aladdin had a very good voice, Jasmine was quite beautiful and Jafar had that unforgettable voice. He's the same guy from the movie. But the one who plays Genie was amazing, his songs and antics were definitely Tony award worthy. My wife and children were talking about seeing it again on the way out of the theatre.
The show is great, but our seats were terrible. It's too high and seemed like we were going to fell down. No room for legs. And i am a short person. I was uncorfotable during the whole time. It's a shame because the show is really beautiful
If your looking for a family night out and your not big on musicals then see this show Don't see it for the acting, but it's a fun experience just no depth It's family friendly and has beautiful costumes and scenery but lacks chemistry with the cast. I love Disney but it's to over the top
Amazing. Magic carpet ride scene was unbelievable. The genie was fantastic. Sitting was tight however
This show was amazing! Family friendly of course and so much funnier than expected!
Show was very good. Funny, great music, and some other original parts that made it amazing
Aladdin is funny, entertaining and a good time for all. The costumes and sets were spectacular and the genie rocks! Loved it.
Nice ti see a musical with no message and lots of laughs. Genie steals the show, or actually makes it fun. Rest of the cast are entertaining and nice. See it as a stress reliever and you won't be sorry.
