Disney's Aladdin the musical transports audiences to the vibrant city of Agrabah with a spectacular production that has been a Broadway hit since its 2014 premiere. Based on the classic animated film, the show tells the story of a young street urchin whose life changes when he finds a magic lamp holding a Genie who grants him three wishes. The production is a visual feast, featuring over 300 lavish costumes and dazzling sets that recreate everything from a bustling marketplace to the mysterious Cave of Wonders.
The unforgettable score, composed by Alan Menken with lyrics by Howard Ashman, Tim Rice, and Chad Beguelin, includes all the iconic songs from the film, plus new numbers written exclusively for the stage. Directed and choreographed by Tony Award-winner Casey Nicholaw, Aladdin perfectly blends romance, comedy, and adventure, delivering a live experience that is both nostalgic and fresh. It's an unmissable production that guarantees a night of magical entertainment for all ages.
Attending Aladdin at the New Amsterdam Theatre is a special event. It's recommended to arrive at least 30 minutes before the show starts to go through security, find your seats, and admire the stunning theatre. The runtime is approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, with one intermission.
While there is no official dress code, most attendees dress in smart casual attire. The theatre is air-conditioned, so consider bringing a light jacket. Remember that photography and video recording are strictly prohibited during the performance so as not to distract the performers or the audience. Just sit back, relax, and let yourself be swept away by the magic of Agrabah.
