I'm playfully jealous for those who have seen this kind of Disney magic in the heart of NYC. I never have gone there before but I do hope to go this fall.

I saw this 10 times in Chicago before it went to Broadway. It’s freaking amazing!!

The combination of modern Disney magic and old fashioned musical comedy seems quite refreshing! This is one Mouse House staging I would love to see one day.

I saw the musical yesterday in Sydney, it was absolutely incredible all the different colours, sets, and music really brought it all together

Thank you Aladdin cast for being my first broadway show, it was so much fun ❤️😁🥰

This cast is absolutely perfect!!

I watched it last week as a birthday present from my mum and it was amazing! I will definitely want to watch it again! I literally become a little girl when the show started

for the people who are wondering how the magic carpet works, it's like this. there is a strong but thin wire stretching across the stage, with some lighting techniques, it makes the illusion that the carpet it flying

Best show on Broadway!! I saw it 4 times!!!

I saw this at the West End a couple of weeks ago and I'm still so obsessed with this musical!

Best musical I've ever seen! Just watched it and was impressed... loved it!

Aladdin is magnificent musical.Amazing performers ,spectacular scenes, stunning songs, elegant costumes and finally mind-blowing songs! ITS really fantastic Mega show! This musical worths to seeng! ITs seems to be you that you are in the magical fairytale!

I saw James play the genie and he was fabulous

I saw this in London with my friends in yr9 and its AWESOME!! I love the genie so much 👍 👍 👍

My wife and I just saw the Broadway play last month and it was incredible. Different actors than in these news piece but still amazing.

uh i love this play some much

I saw this in New York and it was amazing

I always loved this movie and I always wanted to be princess Jazmin but the issue that I had been struggling with was lack of losing weight back then and still now I’ve been struggling with it

I wish to view them live

oh hell yeah!

I totally wanna see it

I GET TO SEE THIS SO SOON I'M SO SHOOK

I had fun watching the show. I was just disappointed not hearing the voice of the amazing Lea Salonga during "A Whole New World"...

This is so amazing! I wish that Zootopia would get a musical and The Little Mermaid would get a revival.

I actually won't mind if Zootopia gets a stage adaptation as long as we have Try Everything in the score. High School Musical is overdue for Broadway.

To saw this exact one on broad way I love the giene

This really was enough to bring a cartoon to real life. I don’t really know why they did the live action movie. Same with the lion king

very nice to see you again for the first time in the world of difference between the two most important things to be wicked the musical instruments are the best way to get the latest version of the best of luck. I'm not sure

saw it recently it was lit

Interviewer: Is it fun to be this Evil Incarnate? Johnathan Freeman: Yeah, what do you think? Wouldn't you like it? [Laughs maniacally]

I know how they do the flying carpet.They have four big drones under the carpet and that makes it fly.

The Genie will always be blue 🧞‍♂️

How The Magic Carpet Fly On Aladdin On Broadway: The carpet flies with three wires on each corner that spin in a circle at a speed that allows the eye not to see it. It really is just wires.

Here’s the real Secret: *the carpet is on wires*

just saw it on Broadway. i was not impressed with Jasmine. however, I was very impressed with the Genie and Aladdin and one of the main back up females, Kathryn Allison

This is what directors do they tweak it until the opening night. And then some.

James M. Iglehart is perfection. Needs to win that Tony. I'll call it racism if he doesn't win.

I have to say, I've seen animal trainers do a lot with monkeys and apes in movies. It may be more challenging on stage, but possible, and even then I don't think they could get the same amount of comical effect that Abu had in the film. They said that these human friends were originally an idea in the film. They were probably cut out to shorten and simplify the film. Plus everyone knows how kids love animal sidekicks. Plays are typically much longer than 90 minute films so they do have to expand the story, and putting in these other characters is one good way to do it. I really, really wanna see this but I don't see myself getting there anytime soon.
