Aladdin

Why see Aladdin?

Make A Wish

In an exotic, faraway land, one young pauper's life is about to change with the luck of an ancient lamp - and you're invited to join this magic carpet ride as it embarks on its first UK tour! Based on the hit Disney classic movie Aladdin, this Tony Award-winning musical features all your favourite songs from the film including 'A Whole New World, 'Friend Like me' and 'One Jump!'

Disney brings their 1992 movie classic to life in this fantastical musical, which features the same unforgettable music as the film - created by Academy and Tony award-winning composer Alan Menken and lyricists Howard Ashman, Tim Rice and Chad Beguelin - as well as some brand new numbers.

What Is The Story Of Aladdin?

Aladdin is a charming street urchin in Agrabah, who, when 'exploring' the mysterious Cave of Wonders, uncovers an ancient lamp that proves to be more than just an interesting lighting solution. He unwittingly frees the lamp's resident wacky Genie, who grants him three wishes. Transformed from pauper to Prince, Aladdin catches the eye of beautiful but bored Princess Jasmine, who longs for some adventure of her own!

But it's not all a smooth magic carpet ride, because Aladdin isn't the only one that knows of the lamp's power. Enter the nefarious Jafar and his minions, who have plans for three wishes of their own and it's up to Aladdin to defeat him to keep the Kingdom from his clutches.

Entertaining, feel-good, desirable

As the resident Disney superfan at London Theatreland, to say I was ridiculously excited about this new addition to the House Of Mouse's West End collection is a little of an understatement.

Aladdin Empire liverpool - Fanatastic

Saw the 2.30pm show on Saturday 4th January 2025. My daughter and I wanted to see Adam Strong as he is due to play Frank n furter in The Rocky Horror Show (he has some high heels to fill after Stephen Webb). We were wowed and can see why The Rocky horror company have chosen him for the role. The whole cast for Aladdin were energetic never faltered. Adam and Yeukai made a very positive and strong impression on young downs syndrome boy we met (clutching his Genie teddy) he was explaining the show to us in the interval. Well done to all. We saw Rocky Horror straight after at the playhouse. Both the Empire and the Play house looked after my daughter and I, we don't live in Liverpool.. but we will definitely be back ..thank you every one ... Read more
