Aladdin and Jasmine |
The standout performance would undoubtedly be the Genie. Gareth Jacobs made the Genie his own and the 8 minutes long rendition of A Friend Like Me proved his worth. Beautifully choreograph with the antics of the Genie showcase gloriously, this segment was probably the most energetic, hilarious and dazzling 8 minutes of any musical.
Gareth as the Genie would make Robin William proud!

With 500 sets and props in this production, this is one of the biggest set to come to town. Featuring over 300 lavish costumes clad with 500,000 Swarovski crystals, the cast looked dazzling on stage. The sparkles from the crystal made the cast shimmer on stage.
Look out for the amazing Cave of Wonders. There are 120 pieces of gold that come together to form this set. It's a spectacular delight!

That's how we would describe our experience. From the colourful sets, the well-cheographed song and dance routines, the sparkling magic from Disney, Aladdin live up to its billing as a magical show from Disney. Watching a Disney classic coming alive on stage brings Disney magic to a whole new world.
Be dazzled by the set and costumes, be charmed by the performances, be soothed by the music. This is one magic carpet ride that you should go on
