Good show
"I would not recommend for small children. Our 5 year old was practically sleeping and I saw a bunch of other kids sleeping "

Decent show. Fun for kids
"I thought it was a decent show and fun for kids. I've been to Broadway shows in the past that really engaged the whole theater, and as we sat in the balcony, it was pretty noticeable that the choreography was very much for the first floor. Also, I thought the cast was pretty impressive in that there aren't a lot of cast members, but the way they use the cast made it feel like there were many members. The choreography was so so, and the sound quality wasn't great from our seats. These aspects surprised me because I've always felt Broadway had really high standards. Maybe it was an off-show. Who knows. What I do know is that my 8 year old loved it. So that's what the takeaway is for me. "

Entertaining, but disappointing compared to other Disney shows
"Unlike other Disney Broadway classics, this story changes the sequence of events and removes the animal characters. There are many new songs, none that are that memorable. "

A wonderful magic carpet ride but only a fair show.
"The special effect of seeing the magic carpet flying around the stage with no visible means of support was spectacular. The audience burst into applause in the middle of the song. But the sound balance between the orchestra and the singers was terrible. I assume it is easy to adjust this coming from the speakers but the orchestra was always too loud and I could hear the singers. In addition, the rest of the staging and the plot and characters just were not special at all, just Meh. So this was not my favorite Broadway show and I would spend my money elsewhere. "

Coole Effekte, aber sehr viel Gesang & Tanz
"Das Stück an sich ist super, um sich mit Kindern anzugucken. Die Effekte sind alle der Hammer, besonders der fliegende Teppich ist ein absolutes Highlight. Dennoch finde ich, dass oftmals Zuviel los ist auf der Bühne mit Gesang & Tanz, sodass die Story etwas leidet & man oft garnicht weiß wohin man schauen soll.. "

More appropriate for young children
"The costumes were amazing. The Genie was quite talented. I just found it to be substandard for Broadway"

About Aladdin

In the middle-eastern town of Agrabah, Princess Jasmine is feeling hemmed in by her father’s desire to find her a royal groom. Meanwhile, the Sultan’s right-hand man, Jafar, is plotting to take over the throne. When Jasmine sneaks out of the palace incognito, she forms an instant connection with Aladdin, a charming street urchin and reformed thief.

 

After being discovered together, Aladdin is sentenced to death, but Jafar saves him by ordering him to fetch a lamp from the Cave of Wonders. Where there’s a lamp, there’s a Genie, and once Aladdin unwittingly lets this one out, anything can happen! Will Aladdin’s new identity as “Prince Ali” help him win Jasmine’s heart and thwart Jafar’s evil plans? Will the Genie’s wish for freedom ever come true?
