About Aladdin
Aladdin, the hit musical based on the Academy Award
®
-winning animated film, opened on Broadway at
the New Amsterdam Theatre to critical acclaim on March 20, 2014, and quickly established itself as one
of the biggest new blockbusters in recent years. Having played over 3,000 performances, the New York
production is among the Top 20 longest runs in Broadway history.
Hailed by The New York Times as “fabulous and extravagant,” the Broadway production has broken 16
New Amsterdam Theatre house records and spawned nine additional productions on four
continents. Worldwide it has welcomed more than 16 million people and can be seen currently on
Broadway and on tour across North America, as well as in Japan and Spain, with a UK tour opening shortly.
Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions, Aladdin features music by Tony Award and eight-time Oscar
®
winner Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, Newsies, Sister Act), lyrics by two-time Oscar winner Howard
Ashman (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid), three-time Tony Award and three-time Oscar winner
Tim Rice (Evita, Aida) and six-time Tony Award nominee Chad Beguelin (The Prom, The Wedding Singer),
with a book by Beguelin, and is directed and choreographed by two-time Tony Award winner Casey
Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon).
Aladdin, adapted from the animated Disney film and centuries-old folktales including “One Thousand and
One Nights,” is brought to fresh theatrical life in this bold new musical. Aladdin’s journey sweeps
audiences into an exciting world of daring adventure, classic comedy and timeless romance. This new
production features a full score, including the five cherished songs from the Academy Award-winning
soundtrack and more written especially for the stage.
The animated film Aladdin was released by Disney in 1992 and was a critical and box office smash,
becoming the highest-grossing film of the year. The film won the Oscar for Best Original Score and
introduced the hit song “A Whole New World,” which won the second of the film’s two Academy Awards
as Best Original Song. The Peabo Bryson/Regina Belle recording of the tune soared to #1 on the Billboard
Hot 100 chart.
Aladdin is designed by seven-time Tony-winning scenic designer Bob Crowley, eight-time Tony-winning
lighting designer Natasha Katz, three-time Tony-winning costume designer Gregg Barnes and sound
designer Ken Travis.
The production team also includes illusion designers Jim Steinmeyer and Rob Lake, hair designer Josh
Marquette and makeup designer Milagros Medina-Cerdeira. The music team is headed by music
supervisor and music director Michael Kosarin, who also created the vocal and incidental music
arrangements, joined by orchestrator Danny Troob and dance music arranger Glen Kelly. John MacInnis
is the associate choreographer, Jason Trubitt is the production supervisor and Myriah Bash is the general
manager.
Anne Quart serves as co-producer.
The current North American tour has played in over 40 cities to more than a half million people since
launching in October 2022. A previous tour played to an additional nearly 3 million patrons.
