Meet the Current Cast of ALADDIN on Broadway!

For the last five years, the New Amsterdam Theatre has been all about magic lamps, carpet rides, princes, thieves and genies! That's because Disney's Aladdin, which opened in 2014, has played well over 2000 performances there.

Aladdin opened on Broadway at the New Amsterdam Theatre to critical acclaim on March 20, 2014 and quickly established itself as one of the biggest new blockbusters in recent years, breaking 14 New Amsterdam Theatre house records; worldwide, it has welcomed more than 10 million people and grossed over $1 billion. Its global footprint has expanded to include productions in Tokyo, Hamburg, London and Australia, in addition to the two U.S. productions.

The North American tour of Aladdin recently celebrated its 2nd anniversary and welcomed its two millionth guest. Since launching in Chicago at The Cadillac Palace Theatre on April 19, 2017, the tour has played to capacity houses in 25 cities during 869 performances. Future stops for the tour include Baltimore, Charlotte, Dallas, Durham, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, Kansas City, Memphis, Orlando, San Antonio and Washington, D.C.

We already know and love the original Broadway cast, which was led by Adam Jacobs, Courtney Reed and Tony winner James Monroe Iglehart, but now we're spotlighting the current 2019 cast!
