Yesterday, Ainsley Melham took his final bow as Aladdin. From Australia to America, Sydney to Broadway, Ainsley has brought Disney's lovable street rat to life for over 3 years.

All that remains now is to say thank you Ainsley for all that you have given to the character and show over the years. Thanks for all the high adventures and I wish you all the very best for a magical future.

Make way for Broadway's new Aladdin! Jacob Dickey will be taking over as Disney's beloved street rat next week!

Jacob is certainly no stranger to playing the young hero. He's been Broadway's Aladdin before, playing the role between Adam Jacob's departure and Telly Leung's debut back in 2017, covering for Adam on the US Tour, and he currently understudies both Aladdin and Kassim in the Broadway production. Now he gets the chance to take the title role and truly make it his own!

Jacob will replace Ainsley Melham, who originated the role in Australia and made his Broadway debut in Aladdin earlier this year. Ainsley's final performance will be on July 14th so make sure you see him while you have the chance!

Congratulations Jacob! Make some magic!!
