Aladdin opened to critical acclaim on March 20th, 2014 and quickly established itself as one of the biggest new blockbusters in recent years; last year only the smash musical Wicked was seen by more people on Broadway.

Its global footprint has expanded to include productions in Tokyo, Hamburg, London and Melbourne, along with a North American tour.
