And did we mention the magic carpet...?

Featuring timeless songs from the original film like “A Whole New World,” “Friend Like Me,” and “Prince Ali,” plus new songs written by Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, Tim Rice, and Chad Beguelin, Aladdin enchants theatergoers of all ages and brings Agrabah to life in a way that only Broadway can.

Directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Casey Nicholaw, Aladdin first found success in Toronto before transferring to Broadway, where it has continued to captivate audiences from around the world. Productions have since launched in London’s West End, Tokyo, Sydney, and more, cementing its status as a global hit.
