Princess Jasmine also takes on an expanded role in this stage version. Audiences will explore new dimensions of her character, highlighting her strength and drive for independence. She defies societal restrictions that restrict her freedom, offering a fresh perspective on the princess’s story.

In the end, Aladdin’s journey and his adventures with Jasmine teach him that real wealth isn’t found through material riches. Instead, he helps to teach us all about how real happiness relies on true friendship, love, and freedom.

The romantic duet performed by Aladdin and Jasmine, “A Whole New World,” remains the indelible highlight of the show, inevitably bringing every audience to an emotional ovation. A Production That Inspires With Every Performance. Alan Menken (composer) and the lyrics of Howard Ashman and Tim Rice deliver a remarkable blend of nostalgia and originality in the score, with several all-new songs woven alongside the classic standards.

Directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw, the Broadway production boasts elaborate set designs, colorful costumes, and dynamic performances. Nicholaw’s direction, known for productions like “The Book of Mormon,” ensures every scene feels immersive.
