Good, not great
by Kirkh on 5/26/23After seeing the 2017 Aladdin, i was in awe of how great the performace. Last night (May 2023), I saw Aladdin and it left me wanting so much more. There was nothing wrong, but it lacked the pizzazz of a Broadway show. The acting was okay and I felt no connection between Jasmin and Aladdin. The songs felt rushed and lacked any WOW factor. The genie was great. The 3 friends (Kasim, Omar, nd ?) connected well and provided comedic relief. This honestly seemed like a lackluster budge-cut peformance. It seemed more like a community or college performance rather than a Broadway Show. I left wanting more.
