Aladdin

Why see Aladdin?

Make A Wish

In an exotic, faraway land, one young pauper's life is about to change with the luck of an ancient lamp - and you're invited to join this magic carpet ride as it embarks on its first UK tour! Based on the hit Disney classic movie Aladdin, this Tony Award-winning musical features all your favourite songs from the film including 'A Whole New World, 'Friend Like me' and 'One Jump!'

Disney brings their 1992 movie classic to life in this fantastical musical, which features the same unforgettable music as the film - created by Academy and Tony award-winning composer Alan Menken and lyricists Howard Ashman, Tim Rice and Chad Beguelin - as well as some brand new numbers.

What Is The Story Of Aladdin?

Aladdin is a charming street urchin in Agrabah, who, when 'exploring' the mysterious Cave of Wonders, uncovers an ancient lamp that proves to be more than just an interesting lighting solution. He unwittingly frees the lamp's resident wacky Genie, who grants him three wishes. Transformed from pauper to Prince, Aladdin catches the eye of beautiful but bored Princess Jasmine, who longs for some adventure of her own!

But it's not all a smooth magic carpet ride, because Aladdin isn't the only one that knows of the lamp's power. Enter the nefarious Jafar and his minions, who have plans for three wishes of their own and it's up to Aladdin to defeat him to keep the Kingdom from his clutches.

Entertaining, feel-good, desirable

As the resident Disney superfan at London Theatreland, to say I was ridiculously excited about this new addition to the House Of Mouse's West End collection is a little of an understatement.

TRULY A MUST-SEE

Just wow! saw this performance last night with my nan and sister and we were all absolutely blown away, not one single fault from every single cast member! I laughed, cried and was in pure awe of everything from the costumes, the dancing and of course the voices, Genie really stole the show the way they truly personified the character was utterly astounding! ...

Brilliant in parts

If I were to through any doubts about giving this a 5 out of 5 it could be because Aladdin the character himself did not really suit. Very quiet for the character also The Prince as bordering on armature, jasmine did not look right in her gear, not sure what was missing but it looked out of context, also the song on the flying carpet was so low key! Yet that's a big song so that was a disappointment. Apart from all of the the star of the show was the Genie himself! Without him the show would not of been brilliant! Take him out and you have no show. Not to sure who the director was but characters not 100% but still a brilliant show, thought the finale was low key as well. ... Read more
