FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Aladdin

‘Aladdin’ musical doesn’t quite seem like a Disney hit
7 / 10

Disney's new 'Aladdin' doesn't quite catch lightning in a bottle - but it lets a pretty nifty genie out of a lamp. That would be James Monroe Iglehart, in the role memorably voiced by Robin Williams in the 1992 animated hit. Every time this Genie's on stage, it's as if 'Aladdin' were mainlining Red Bull. Iglehart works so hard during his big number, you fear for his health - that is, when you're not laughing your head off. And then there's the rest of the show...The whole vibe is like a throwback to those old Bob Hope/Bing Crosby movies: 'The Road to Agrabah.' But the journey may be a short one - leaving the beautiful New Amsterdam Theatre free just in time for the 'Frozen' musical to move in.

‘Aladdin’ Theater Review: Disney's Animation Team Got It Right the First Time
5 / 10

Suffice to say, 'Aladdin' bears no resemblance to Nicholaw's previous laugh-filled Broadway effort, 'The Book of Mormon.'...And neither does Chad Beguelin's book, which is loaded with some clever 'Sesame Street' word play but finds no magic whatsoever in a story rife with magic lanterns, carpets, genies and sultry Arabian nights. Will children get the humor in send-ups of old tap and soft-shoe numbers? Isn't mocking stage traditions a rather cynical way to introduce children to the theater?

The audience follows Aladdin on a journey from street rat to Prince Ali of Ababwa. He believes now that he is a prince, Princess Jasmine will fall in love with him (Senzel Ahmady).
