ALADDIN KIDS

Set in the market of Agrabah, this fast-paced 30-minute production follows Aladdin’s transformation from a street urchin to Prince Ali—with a little help from a magic lamp and the Genie. Princess Jasmine must choose a suitor or face marrying the sinister Jafar. Magic, mayhem, and romance ensue as Aladdin, aided by his new royal guise and companions like Abu and the Genie, battles Jafar, rescues the lamp, sets the Genie free, and wins Jasmine’s heart—proving that selflessness and bravery face down tyranny. A flying carpet and lively ensemble bring the adventure to life!


ALADDIN JR.

Welcome to Agrabah, a city of enchantment. Aladdin, a spirited street urchin, and his pals Babkak, Omar, and Kassim are scraping by—until Aladdin stumbles upon a magic lamp and the all-powerful Genie. With three wishes in hand, he embarks on a daring quest to win Princess Jasmine’s respect and change his destiny. Featuring beloved classics like "Friend Like Me" and "A Whole New World," along with added numbers such as "Proud of Your Boy" and "These Palace Walls," this 60-minute musical adventure promises magic, heart, and plenty of thrills!
