Based on the 1992 Disney animated film of the same name, the Tony Award-nominated Best Musical follows the title street urchin as he journeys to the Cave of Wonders, where he discovers a magical lamp that changes his life forever.

After unleashing a friendly and funny Genie who will grant him three wishes, Aladdin transforms into royalty to win the heart of Princess Jasmine. The only thing standing in his way is the Sultan’s villainous Grand Vizier, Jafar, who will stop at nothing to steal the lamp and take the throne.

*Aladdin* is directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Casey Nicholaw. *Aladdin* brings audiences on an enchanting adventure to the deserts of Agrabah, complete with high-flying carpet rides and a toe-tapping Genie that will have you wishing for more. So if you want to find "A Whole New World" on stage, you'll enjoy *Aladdin* on Broadway.

## What to watch for

- In *Aladdin*, there are 337 costumes that are worn throughout the musical. Did you know that all the costumes in *Aladdin* were custom-made by hand? In the Genie’s musical number “Friend Like Me,” there are 1,428 Swarovski crystals on a pair of men’s pants.
- James Monroe Iglehart, who originated the role of the Genie in the stage production, took home the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical. *Aladdin* was nominated for five Tony Awards in total. 
- Jonathan Freeman, who voiced the villainous Jafar in the 1992 film, reprised his performance on stage in the original cast of the musical.

The Aladdin movie is one of the cornerstones of what would become known as the Disney Renaissance Era, a period of time which restored Disney's animation division to its former glory of creating successful animated musicals.

The *Aladdin* Broadway production also incorporates a dazzling total of 84 illusions and effects, with the awe-inspiring magic carpet ride during "A Whole New World" arguably its crowning jewel. The spectacle also showcases 337 unique costumes and dynamic choreography, brimming with modern dance, tap, and Middle Eastern-infused influences, under the helm of Tony Award winner Casey Nicholaw.

## Who plays the Genie in *Aladdin* the musical?

Original cast member <a href="/actor-profile/james-monroe-iglehart">James Monroe Iglehart</a> won the Tony Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical for his crowd-pleasing, unstoppable performance in the role.
