Immerse yourself in exotic Arabia with Aladdin the musical, which brings the magic and excitement of the legendary Disney creation to London. First released in 1992, the animated film became an icon of 90s cinema for children and adults alike as a result of its plot and a spectacular soundtrack that marked an era.
Now, the genie has left the big screen to give life to a musical that is triumphing worldwide. Ready to experience Agrabah in the flesh?
Young Aladdin is a petty thief trying to survive on the streets of Agrabah. In a life replete with contrasts, it isn’t easy to fill your stomach. On one of his incursions to get bread, young Aladdin is arrested and locked in prison, where he meets a mysterious old man.
Together, they manage to escape. They go to rob the Cave of Wonders, a place that contains all the riches imaginable. The old man, Aladdin and Aladdin’s monkey, Abu, manage to get inside the cave, but a land movement caused by the greedy monkey makes the cave fall in. Aladdin finds himself trapped inside. But then something unexpected happens: a magic lamp, home to a genie, who grants the master of the lamp three wishes.
So, Aladdin manages to escape and meet Jasmin, a young princess, desperate to see the world beyond the walls of her palace. She categorically refuses to accept the arranged marriage her father has agreed with Jafar, who is no other than the old man from the prison and who also wants to get his hands on the lamp. Will Yasmin fall in love with young Aladdin? Will Jafar get away with his sinister plans? And what about the genie of the lamp? Will he ever be free? Find out for yourself!
