Gabby Bubrick, an 18-year-old battling cancer, got her wish of appearing in a Broadway show courtesy of the House of Mouse and Make-A-Wish.

"I decided to perform in a Broadway show because theater is what makes me the happiest. It's Broadway -- that's the dream," she said.

For her wish, Gabby was granted a walk-on role in Aladdin on Broadway and had a magical time every step of the way. Gabby's experience included a backstage tour, her own performance wardrobe, lessons in the show's choreography, and her name in lights on the marquee of the New Amsterdam Theatre.

Bubrick, a former audience member at Mary Poppins at the New Amsterdam, was thrilled to return to the space for her Broadway debut.
