Disney's Aladdin JR. is a one-act, seven-scene theatre musical adapted from the animated Disney film Aladdin. The production runs 70 minutes and is being presented by Yorktown Stage this weekend, February 27-28, 2015.
Both the story and music in this truncated version closely follow the original film. All of your favorite characters from the hit Disney film - Aladdin, Jasmine, Iago, Jafar, the Genie, and more - are here in Disney's Aladdin JR., a musical adventure filled with magic, mayhem, and flying carpet rides. An ensemble of townspeople, shop owners, harem girls, princes, and others fill the stage for the festivities. Audiences will be treated to a tuneful Academy award-winning score, with songs by
Alan Menken,
Howard Ashman, and
Tim Rice, including "A Whole New World," "Arabian Nights" and "Friend Like Me."
The production stars 40 extraordinary young actors. "This cast brings an exciting energy to the production, which will delight children and adults alike" said
Barry Liebman, Executive Producer of Yorktown Stage. The talented and creative
Augie Abatecola returns to direct and choreograph. "This is a wildly funny and exuberant show, with a solid score replete with hummable tunes," said Abatecola. "As in the past, we have cast our theatre's and, hopefully, Broadway's future stars."
