Here is why we at Broadway Inbound think it's a perfect show for groups:
Aladdin on Broadway offers a unique and unparalleled experience. Witness the colorful world of Disney Theatrical’s Agrabah materialize on stage. Embark on an incredible voyage filled with excitement, marvels, and wishes—a tale that is both recognizable and refreshingly different. Similar to the classic story and Disney's animated adaptation, Broadway's Aladdin is so much more than just a kids’ show. Get ready for an unforgettable ride into the vibrant world of Arabian nights.
Since its Broadway debut in 2014, Aladdin continues to be an enchanting masterpiece, captivating audiences of all age groups. The exceptionally gifted Alan Menken and Casey Nicholaw have conceived a contemporary Broadway version of an age-old story that will mesmerize both the youngest and the most seasoned viewers. The two ingenious artists have brought a degree of splendor to the stage, crafting a musical that will astonish everyone in the theatre.
The humor is clever and subtle enough for adults to appreciate but will also keep kids laughing. The show is a perfect blend of music, comedy, magic, and real-life lessons to take away. Genie’s “Friend Like Me” is a real showstopper and a crowd favorite. Speaking of, Genie will leave you wishing you could have a magical buddy like him!
One of the staples of Aladdin is its beautifully written characters. Shiver at the vicious plan of the evil Jafar. Cheer as young Aladdin fights for what’s right. He is no typical prince Charming—this young man is not afraid to bend some rules or even break a couple. Aladdin’s charisma is irresistible! He is a bit of a scoundrel, but also brave and reliable when his friends are in need. All of this makes Aladdin a great example for kids. His kind heart and capacity to help others are very admirable. He has a great sense of humor and is always up for an adventure.
The ornate, colorful sets and the soft, romantic lighting, in combination with the costumes, will have you swooning over the love story of the main characters.
The costumes in Aladdin are a true highlight of the show. The characters are adorned in bright silks and shining jewels—exactly like you might have imagined them as a child while listening to a bedtime story. Princess Jasmine’s attire is second to none. Think of lots of layers, sparkles, and delicate yet vivid colors.
The outfits featured in Aladdin significantly contribute to its magical allure. Dressed in radiant fabrics and gleaming gemstones, the beloved heroes, heroines, and villains come on stage to the delight of your inner (or outer) child. The wardrobe of Princess Jasmine is simply stunning, with an abundance of layers, shimmering embellishments, and a combination of subtle yet striking hues. Fashionistas in the audience should get ready to covet the princess’s style—from a jewel-encrusted diadem to the classic blue off-the-shoulder top and breeches ensemble. And Genie's costumes are just as spectacular as the character himself. From the headdress to the gold jewelry to the lavish blue robe, Genie’s frocks make a bold statement.
Aladdin tells the beloved Disney story as you have never seen before. The production is perfect for the entire family and is a must-see for groups of all sizes. Aladdin is a terrific show with a great cast, incredible sets, beloved songs, and lots of colorful, fun spectacles. And the magical carpet ride will simply take your breath away.
