Amazing first Broadway experience!
by KCO05 on 2017-11-07New Amsterdam Theatre - New YorkAt first, I was concerned we had the Aladdin understudy (Jacob Dickey) but he was incredible. Trust me, you'll want to listen to his beautiful voice all day long. Genie (Major Attaway) was the real star of the show and the crowd favourite. He channelled Robin Williams' spirit. Iago (Don Darryl Rivera) will make you laugh. Jasmine (Courtney Reed) nearly ruined the evening with her whiny, unpleasant voice, but luckily, everything else made up for her. The magic carpet ride scene truly was magical and all the sets were beautiful and intricate with well-rehearsed transitions. Some impressive special effects throughout. The updated humour and new songs were enjoyable, especially Genie's mashup if you're a Disney fan! Fun fact: Jafar (Jonathan Freeman) is the original voice actor from the Disney movie. All in all, a spectacular show. I highly recommend!
