Aladdin at New Amsterdam Theatre

With a Hollywood history dating back to 1992 and a Broadway debut in 2014, "Aladdin” has captivated audiences across generations and cultures worldwide. The heartwarming 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 expanded roles, deeper story development, and a selection of original songs, the show takes you on an intensely personal journey through Agrabah.

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

Princess Jasmine also assumes a deeper presence in this stage version. Audiences will see new dimensions of her character, showcasing her strength and drive for independence. She questions societal restrictions that limit her choices, offering a fresh perspective on the princess’s story.

In the end, Aladdin’s journey and his experiences with Jasmine show him that real wealth is not measured through material riches. Instead, he helps to teach us all about how real happiness is rooted in true friendship, love, and freedom.

The romantic duet performed by Aladdin and Jasmine, “A Whole New World,” remains the unforgettable 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 produce 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 includes stunning set designs, colorful costumes, and world-class performances. Nicholaw’s direction, known for productions like “The Book of Mormon,” ensures every scene feels immersive.
