Aladdin Reviews

DISAPPOINTING

I would not consider this "Disney's Aladdin" at all. When you leave some songs out that were in the movie, put extra songs in, change 90% of the lines, I'm not sure how you call it Disney. My kid (who was the genie in her school play and was excited to see the play) fell asleep. My wife also fell asleep. I saw many kids dozing off in the theatre, and I was bored during several parts. I don't see what the hype is about. Yes, the Genie was awesome! Music was well done and scenery was great! Magic carpet was spectacular! But, some of the acting was meh. If you just called it "Aladdin" then I'd give it 3 stars. But this is not Disney. I would get some tips from "Lion King" because they did Disney right. This play though, eh, pass. Won't see again and won't recommend if you are wanting Disney.

ALADDIN

It was like a high school musical , Aladdin, Genie,and Sultan were all understudies. How does 3 main performers go out in one night. Singing was off for Aladdin and Jasmine. Genie once he starting moving was out of breathe. Choreography was basic and off steps. Tap dancing was wonderful. Scenery and costumes were great. I’m sure the children liked it but it was not broadway caliber.

NOT SURE WHAT ALL THE HYPE IS ABOUT

I was invited because a friend had extra tickets. After hearing all the hype, I decided to go. What a disappointment. Don't get me wrong, the actors did their job, and I could never do what they do. However, like most Disney stories, it was rife with cultural appropriation and it was extremely corny. But I guess that's what Disney is known for, and I should have just declined the tickets based on that fact alone. Most who enjoyed it must live with Disney colored glasses on.

DISAPPOINTED

Maybe because we saw it on a Thursday night, but the actors were flat, the energy was lacking, the dancers were off! We were expecting a broadway show and ended up with a really good high school musical. The costumes and set design were worth the ticket price alone, but other than that...the only great actor was the Genie who stole the show! :) Spend the money on another show and skip this one.
