Hale Center Theater Orem to Present Disney's ALADDIN JR., 7/15-26

Hale Center Theater Orem will present Disney's Aladdin Jr., featuring Music by Alan Menken, Lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, Book Adapted and Additional Lyrics by Jim Luigs, Music Adapted and Arranged by Bryan Louiselle, and based on the 1992 Disney film Aladdin.

Aladdin, a street rat, is the only person who can enter the cave of wonders and retrieve a magical lamp for the dark Vizier Jafar. He becomes trapped in the cave and accidentally discovers the resident of the lamp. Aladdin develops a relationship with the Genie and uses his wishes to become a prince to chase the affections of Princess Jasmine. When Jafar finally steals the lamp and gets three wishes of his own, Aladdin must rely on his intelligence to trick Jafar and save his friends and the Kingdom.

Disney's ALADDIN JR. is a stage adaptation of the Disney hit film. Filled with magic, mayhem, and magic carpet rides, audiences' spirits will soar with excitement. Most of all, the tuneful, Academy award-winning score with songs including "A Whole New World" and "Friend Like Me" will make this musical appeal to all ages.

Arts Education is a large part of HCTO's mission. HCTO's children's productions serve as a vehicle to not only educate and introduce children to theater who come to see the production, but also serve as a great educational tool for the young actors and actresses performing as well. All children's productions at HCTO are mounted by the same professional production staff as their main stage shows. The students are able to experience what it is like to work alongside professional directors and designers.

The cast ranges in age from 12 - 17 years and comes from many areas across Utah Valley.
