New York: Aladdin Broadway Tickets at New Amsterdam Theatre

Summary

Aladdin musical magic on Broadway at New Amsterdam Theatre

What’s the experience like?

Hands clutching our tickets, we shuffled into the New Amsterdam Theatre — it’s got this old-world hush right before curtain, velvet seats creaking as everyone settles. There was a family next to us from Queens, the dad whispering the Genie’s lines to his daughter before the lights even dimmed. I caught a whiff of popcorn somewhere (not sure if that’s allowed, but it made me smile). The usher winked and told us to keep our phones off unless we wanted to be turned into a toad — classic New York humor.

When the orchestra hit those first notes of “Arabian Nights,” it felt like the whole place leaned forward. Our local guide earlier had said this version of Aladdin is different — new songs by Howard Ashman, scenes you won’t find in the movie, and honestly, I didn’t expect the Genie to steal every single scene. The set changes were wild: one minute dusty market stalls, then suddenly gold everywhere for “Friend Like Me.” My friend tried singing along (quietly), but gave up halfway through Prince Ali because she couldn’t keep up with the lyrics or the costume changes.

There’s this moment during “A Whole New World” where the stage goes dark except for that flying carpet — cheesy maybe, but my heart did that fluttery thing anyway. Kids gasped all around us. Even grown-ups looked a little misty-eyed in the glow. Afterward, people lingered in the aisle just talking about favorite scenes or how they’d seen the movie as kids. I still think about that last applause echoing up to those old balconies — there’s something about live shows in New York that just hits different.
