Great show, poor seats

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 have to see it on Broadway. love Aladdin when I was a kid.
One of the most incredible experience that i have ever had related to theater and musicals.
Loved everything. Singing ,dancing stage sets extra effects and cave scene pyrotechnics and of course the flying carpet
We loved the spectacle of Aladdin, the dancing, costumes and effects. Genie, Jafar and Iago were great. However, we noticed from the start that Jasmin and Aladdin seemed much weaker. Jasmin’s acting was the poorest. She seemed either irritated or emotionless, and her singing was just OK. Then we saw the flier in the Playbill letting us know both roles were filled with ensemble members, rather than the true leading actors. It was a huge disappointment and we would t have paid so much money to go had we known in advance.
I took my Grandson who turned 13 to see Aladdin. It was amazing to say the least . The theatre was beautiful and everyone was very friendly, kind and welcoming. We enjoyed every moment . Looking forward to coming again soon !
Perfect broadways musical for kids and adults. Very funny, creative and entertaining.
The show was an awesome, intriguing and engaging experience. Would highly recommend. Took me back to my younger years…
Some changes in the original script didn't bring any value and annoyed Aladdin fans.
Wonderful theater atmosphere great views wonderful cast
