Photo Flash: Meet the Stars of ALADDIN AND THE MAGIC LAMP at Orlando Shakespeare Theater

Orlando Shakespeare Theater in Partnership with UCF (Orlando Shakes) kicks off its 2017-2018 Children's Series with the celebrated Middle Eastern folktale Aladdin and the Magic Lamp from June 15 - July 23, 2017 in the Goldman Theater. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the stars in costume below!

Adapted by BranDon Roberts (2016's Beauty and the Beast and 2015's The Frog and the Princess), the family-friendly production will feature a "Choose Your Own Journey" interactive approach, in which the audience will be able to determine the outcome of the play.

Aladdin and the Magic Lamp tells the timeless tale of a boy, a genie, and the power of pursuing your dreams. Based on Middle Eastern folktale The Arabian Nights, a young man named Aladdin seeks advice on how to meet the princess from wise genies, a powerful sultan, and his own mother. Told with help from the younger members of the audience, Aladdin learns that it takes more than a wish to make a good impression and to always follow your heart.

Aladdin and the Magic Lamp features Luis Herrera as Aladdin, Henry Gibson as Genie of the Ring/Ensemble, Gemma Victoria Waldon as Vizier Hasna/Mother, and Chelsey Panisch as Genie of the Lamp/Ensemble.

The Orlando Shakes artistic team includes Director Patrick Braillard, Set Designer Kurt Bippert, Costume Designer Mel Barger, Lighting Designer Colleen Doherty, and Sound Designer Britt Sandusky, Stage Manager Paige Gober, and Production Assistant Alyssa Will Zegers.

Tickets ($9 - $20) can be purchased by calling (407) 447-1700 ext. 1, online at www.orlandoshakes.org, or in person at the John and Rita Lowndes Shakespeare Center (812 E. Rollins St.).
