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.
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.
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
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
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!
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
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.
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
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
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.
Sjoerd Eltink True, because it looks like they did that for Iago. Honestly I don't know what could be a reason other than just expanding and lengthening the story.
They wanted to make their own. Using puppets like Lion King would make it seem like a copy plus the play is awesome. They break the fourth wall alot the three friends of Aladdin
James' reaction to getting the chance to play genie is priceless and adorable! He so deserved his reward!
OMG I LOVE JAMES SM
“If you saw a skinny guy jumping around it wouldn’t be so cool would it”
Erica Richter I’ve loved him as Bobby as Memphis and currently as the voice of Lance on Tangled the Series.
I’ve met him! He is literally the sweetest person ever!
I can't believe they got Jonathan Freeman back to play Jafar!!! That is SO COOL!!! Also this just looks insanely awesome!
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!!
i LOVE aladin
I listen to this musical at least 3 times a day, no joke. It’s phenomenal.
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
Me too. I saw it yesterday
i saw it there too
Same but I saw it at Qpac
Billie Platt I saw it in Melbourne twice!!!
Billie Platt My mom and I r seeing it in June! I can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!
He really does sound like Jafar. So much that I laughed and was thinking. "OMG its Jafar!" LOL
+Kiara Uchiha It was Jafar, he was his original actor from the movie
+Kiara Uchiha .....that's because it IS Jafar. Did you not pay attention?
You do not need to be so rude.
Kiara Uchiha That’s what makes me even more jealous toward my fellow theatre geeks who saw Mr Freeman reprise Jafar.
Probable because it’s the ACTUAL Jafar, the original
3:23 okay i cried a little watching that
Addison Ramirez
Me too!!
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
I was a hard doubter, but my jaw was literally dropped the entire show! I actually cried at one point completely overcome! Amazing!
No way! Jonathan Freeman? The voice of Jafar from the movie doing the Broadway version of him? Get out of Woodstock, Man!!!!
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
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!
1:00 - "You know, I actually told them, we're Frozen." No silly, you're "Aladdin"! ;) ;) ;)
Frozen means no more changes to the shows, in theatre
Note the three winking smilies in my post :).
dottiedots221 Never knew that until now

Team Onion r/woooooooooosh
本当に鳥肌立つ...素晴らしい😭歌唱力もすごいしダンスもかっこいいし、、というかミュージカルの中でアラジンが1番好き🙋🏻♀️
Best show on Broadway!! I saw it 4 times!!!
Saw the musical few days back. Amazing! simply amazing!
Aladdin is My Favorite of all time!
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 it in London last week. Absolutely brilliant 😍💕
These costumes are gorgeous!
I've seen the costume designer's previous work in Legally Blonde the Musical and I agree.
I saw it on Broadway a while ago, the genie was awesome! He was an awesome actor.
I saw this in London with my friends in yr9 and its AWESOME!! I love the genie so much 👍 👍 👍
Just saw this today in Brisbane, Australia. Great show!
I need to watch this. I also loved Aladdin when I was child.
Same here Aladdin n Jasmine Jahfar the tiger and blue genie of course
Coming from someone who's gone to the show, it is completely worth it.
I saw the show in Atlanta...and man, my mouth was open the WHOLE SHOW! So many sparkles and SO MUCH FUN! The Genie was my fav
Gabrielle I I just got my tickets for the show in Costa Mesa today just on my way out of seeing Waitress. Should be fun
Can't wait to see this in June!
I’m coming to see this during Spring Break!!!
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.
Saw the show in Auckland recently - it is mind-blowing!
5 years later...Oh yes...we flocked...and still are.
Amazing and beautiful all set up 😳👍❤🇦🇺
I saw James play the genie and he was fabulous
Omg watching this for the 20th time. Its finally making me cry cause I’m seeing it on tour 😭😍❤️. Happy tears
And Adam Jacobs is in it!😍😍😍😍*fangirl screams*
Amanda Hovendon I’m jealous. I’m seeing the show in Costa Mesa in March. And I’m bitter that Adam Janes and Jonathan won’t be there. Oh well
I saw this in New York and it was amazing
uh i love this play some much
*PRINCE ALLEY IS HERE!*
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.
I GET TO SEE THIS SO SOON I'M SO SHOOK
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
Here’s the real Secret: *the carpet is on wires*
Baberaham Lincoln the real secret is that it’s actually flown by drones
Ben Centeno wait what?
Baberaham Lincoln yup four on each corner
uses wires on a counterweight system
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.
To saw this exact one on broad way I love the giene
I had fun watching the show. I was just disappointed not hearing the voice of the amazing Lea Salonga during "A Whole New World"...
I totally wanna see it
I know how they do the flying carpet.They have four big drones under the carpet and that makes it fly.
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
oh hell yeah!
I went to Aladdin in Perth and my life was complete! Im still wondering how that magic carpet was flying XD
I wish to view them live
Interviewer: Is it fun to be this Evil Incarnate?
Johnathan Freeman: Yeah, what do you think? Wouldn't you like it? [Laughs maniacally]
The Genie will always be blue 🧞♂️
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
I wish I had money to take my dad to see this, it was his favorite princess movie
saw it recently it was lit
This is what directors do they tweak it until the opening night. And then some.
I liked the cast I saw when I went to watch last week. Some were the same but I liked the changes.
💖
My highschool did this 😂 I was genie 🧞♀️
I bet the cast would be proud
James M. Iglehart is perfection. Needs to win that Tony. I'll call it racism if he doesn't win.
I loved him as Bobby in Memphis
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
I WAS THERE!!!!!?
RIP RW
3:56 best moment
I would say how the carpet works..... but its a secret
Wait...ABU ISN'T IN THIS? THEY CUT OUT ABU?
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.
They could just use puppets, like in The Lion King
Sjoerd Eltink True, because it looks like they did that for Iago. Honestly I don't know what could be a reason other than just expanding and lengthening the story.
They wanted to make their own. Using puppets like Lion King would make it seem like a copy plus the play is awesome. They break the fourth wall alot the three friends of Aladdin
It does seem rather interesting that the creative team has used ideas that didn't make it into the movie.
2:42 LOL
Tori Lu I don't get that.
@@redfoxjosh3765 He says she's only impressed by his performance (physically) because he's a big/heavy dude.

It's not hard to find out how the carpet ride worked. Wire. Wire from the ceiling.
