I was invited to attend the Broadway on Tour Musical of Disney's Aladdin this past Thursday. WOW! I have seen quite a few shows this season and this by far was my favorite. There were so many set changes and costume changes that were visually AMAZING!!! Before the show I had seen some stock photos on the Broadway website, I had seen a beautiful full-color program before the show, which by the way is part of a giveaway on my Instagram, but anyways pictures just do not do the sets justice. I am still trying to figure out how they made the Cave of Wonders Scene take place and the Magic Carpet.
Disney's Aladdin musical is here in Sacramento through June 2, 2019! Go buy your tickets now, this would be a great musical to take the entire family to, I saw quite a few families and young kids in attendance.
I loved the entire cast, everyone was fantastic, the Genie played by Major Attaway was simply fabulous. He sang and danced his heart out, I loved the touches of humor he brought. He did a fantastic job of bringing to life the Genie character we loved. You'll hear all the Aladdin classic songs such as Arabian Nights, Proud of Your Boy, Friend Like Me, Prince Ali, A Whole New World and more. I was pleasantly surprised to hear some of my other favorite Disney songs incorporated into this musical as well, listen for those when you go. Aladdin who is played by Clinton Greenspan and Jasmine who is played by Kaenaonalani Kekoa were great together. They have beautiful voices and great chemistry together. You will be awed by the colorful scenes, costumes and by the orchestra.

What a treat to have Disney's Aladdin right here in Sacramento. There is a huge Aladdin truck outside the Sacramento Community Theater, and I found out why they needed it.
The set for Aladdin weighs over 67 tons. There are 2 million Swarovski Crystals that cover the set and costumes of Disney's Aladdin and the Cave of Wonders has the same golden finish as Star Wars' C3PO. There is so much to look at on the stage, the Cave of Wonders left me speechless.

I, of course, love all things Disney, but I love that this musical had all the main scenes and songs from the 1992 Animated Disney film. I feel like Aladdin is taking over and it's a very good thing. The NEW live-action remake of Aladdin is set to hit cinemas on May 24th. I love that I was able to see the Broadway on Tour Aladdin Musical with my sister, we both loved the animated film as well as we love the MAC Cosmetic Aladdin collection that just debuted as well.
