Disney's Aladdin, the Tony Award-winning hit musical based on the Academy Award®-winning animated film, is now in its second smash year on Broadway at the New Amsterdam Theatre (214 West 42nd Street). This weekend TODAY show anchor Natalie Morales took in the show - check out photos from her visit below!

A first reading has been announced for a new play penned by Broadway alum, and Camp star, Steven Cutts. The show is currently under the title, SUBLETTERS.

In 1989, Disney revitalized both animation and musical theatre for generations to come with their Academy Award-winning film THE LITTLE MERMAID. They followed up that success with BEAUTY AND THE BEAST in 1991, which won another two Oscars, and then in 1992 they again broke the animated mold with ALADDIN, which took home two more trophies. Not only did these three films reinvigorate the nearly dead genre of animated musicals, but ALADDIN specifically inspired decades of films that were not only enjoyable to kids, but were also funny on another level that kept adults entertained as well.

Our host reads fans' responses to the question, 'Where do you find confidence?'

In episode 2 of Courtney Reed's (Jasmine in ALADDIN) new video talk show, #CourtneyChat, she brings in special guest Laura Osnes to discuss the subject of compassion, answer fan questions, and more. Check out the fun video below!
