The story

Disney's stage musical, based on the 1992 animated film, follows Aladdin, his loyal friends Babkak, Omar and Kassim, and Princess Jasmine, who is tired of palace life and of the law that says she must marry a prince. Tricked by the scheming vizier Jafar into fetching a lamp from the Cave of Wonders, Aladdin frees a wisecracking Genie and wishes himself into Prince Ali to court Jasmine, while Jafar plots to seize the lamp and the throne.

In the room

Familiar songs from the animated film, including Friend Like Me and A Whole New World, join restored and newly written numbers, with the Genie at the centre of the comedy.

Good fit if you like

Disney musicals, big comic showstoppers and family fantasy romance.
