Aladdin the Musical in New York, NY

This was a fabulous adaption from the Disney version of the story. From start to end, I was engaged with the performances, set design, and musical numbers. I went to see this show on Sunday, April 27th at 3pm and it was a packed house. My mother and I sat in the mezzanine center, row AA, seats 101 and 102. These tickets cost $423.50, and it's worth the price. If you get these seats, you'll be at the very front of mezzanine's premium seating, with nobody in front to block your view. However, these seats can also be very tight for those who are tall like myself. As a 5'8 woman, my knees felt pretty compressed between the seats and the wall, so my movement was pretty limited. Having guests sitting beside you doesn't help with comfort, but what more can you do with a old theatre that's been open since 1903? Almost every seat is bound to be too close to other guests, so might as well spend that extra money to get a better view of the show. The employees were kind and patient, especially one man who was confronted by an aggressive guest. I felt bad for him, but I also admired how he didn't waver from his composure- that's the mark of a stellar employee. The show itself was wonderful for people of all ages. The actors did their part in bringing the magical story to life. I want to give a special shout out to Marcus Shane who played, "Iago" and Michael James Scott who played, "Genie." These two stood out to me as being incredibly funny and entertaining. The vocal ranges these two had to do was nothing short of incredible. I think this is a great musical to see with family, friends, or even solo. I'd recommend it to people visiting New York City for the first time, who have a passion for the arts. Watching "Aladdin" on broadway will be like stepping into a whole new world of entertainment!

Wow wow wow my face was sore from smiling. The set, the colours, the music, the costumes it was so good I didn’t want it too end best show I’ve ever been at

Just wow - the colors, the costumes, the sets, and the talent on-stage were wonderful. While a pretty traditional take on the Disney classic, they still found ways to make it modern, funny, and charming. I will say the theater seating is TIGHT - if you have any folks in your group with mobility challenges, you might want to keep that in mind and ask the ticket sellers to help accommodate. My flight home in coach had more leg room and a wider seat than those chairs haha.

There is a reason why Aladdin has been on Broadway this long. It is everything that a Broadway show should be: grand, funny and exciting, with stunning choreography and impressively elaborate sets and costumes. Each dance number was better than the next, and the acting and singing were superb. What really struck me about this show was the costumes and sets: the vibrant colors everywhere and the way they incorporated into the dances was nothing like I had ever seen. The sets were very elaborate, and worked seamlessly into the play. Very impressive. All in all, a wonderful play for the whole family that you will certainly not regret seeing. Enjoy!
