It’s the most marvelous event of the year! Right here at New Amsterdam Theatre in New York on Tuesday 27th August 2024. It’s Disney’s Aladdin! The spectacular story of a large blue man… confined in a small lamp. The Genie awakes from his thousand year slumber inside the Cave of Wonders, awakened by the useless street urchin Aladdin, sadly whoever has the lamp rules the Genie and no matter what the poor Genie thinks he must give the holder of the lamp three wishes. Well first the horrible Aladdin wishes himself out of the cave, then after comprehending his idiocy strait away wishes to be the marvelous Prince Ali, how senseless is this boy, really, a Prince? He could have been Ruler of the World! Then the lying street urchin teases the Genie with lies about liberating him, imagine, a free Genie! But no, Aladdin is just a liar and a thief and gives the lamp to his friend the Vizier Jafar, who then goes on this mad riot with the Genies magic, taking over the city of Agrabah. Until finally, the Genie has had enough, it had been so calm for over ten thousand years. Now in three rapid days these maniacs have re-shaped Arabia, he must concoct a plan to put a stop to this extreme use of magic!
