    About Aladdin(musical)

    Disney’s *Aladdin* arrives on Broadway as a stage adaptation of the 1992 animated film, with a book by Chad Beguelin and music by Alan Menken, complemented by lyrics from Howard Ashman, Tim Rice, and Beguelin. The production, playing at the New Amsterdam Theatre, reframes the familiar tale of a streetwise young man, a princess, and a wish-granting genie through live performance and expanded songs, including numbers written for the film but not originally used. It opened on Broadway in 2014, part of Times Square’s long-running cycle of family-oriented musicals. One clear point is how the show treats spectacle as narrative grammar, not decoration.
