Aladdin at New Amsterdam Theatre

With a Hollywood history stretching to 1992 and a Broadway debut in 2014, "Aladdin” has entertained audiences across generations and cultures worldwide. The timeless story of Aladdin’s journey has now been transformed by modern stagecraft never before seen.

This new musical production captures the essential themes of the original Disney film while developing new horizons. With multiple new characters, deeper story development, and a selection of original songs, the show immerses you on an emotionally engaging journey through Agrabah.

Unlike the original film version of the tale that featured Abu the monkey as Aladdin’s sidekick, the stage production brings in three new characters. Babkak, Omar, and Kassim, who become Aladdin’s core confidants. These playful friends provide levity to the narrative, making every scene memorable.

Princess Jasmine also takes on an expanded role in this stage version. Audiences will see new dimensions of her character, emphasizing her strength and drive for independence. She questions societal restrictions that work to contain her, offering a fresh perspective on the princess’s story.

In the end, Aladdin’s journey and his relationship with Jasmine teach him that real wealth doesn't come through material riches. Instead, he helps to teach us all about how real happiness depends 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, always leading 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 new musical pieces woven alongside the classic standards.

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