Like the guy in the video says, "at last" Aladdin is on its way :o)
Must admit, I wasn't expecting to see anything like this so soon. Hopefully this means that casting news isn't too far away!
Not much to report on the social media side of things. The official @Aladdin has tweeted "I can show you the world..." and the official Facebook page followed suit with a new image;
And then another quote, "Arabian nights, like Arabian days..." and finally the link to advance ticket sales that I posted about last week.
In related news Courtney Reed, Seattle's original Princess Jasmine, last night took part in a a special evening celebrating the Life and Lyrics of Howard Ashman. Courtney and fellow Broadway stars performed Howard's songs, including some of those from Aladdin, to benefit GMHC and other AIDS service organisations in the tri-state area. The evening also saw Howard's sister, Sarah Ashman Gillespie, and partner, William Lauch awarded with the first annual Howard Ashman Award by GMHC. The award is designed to "honor musicians and songwriters who have made significant contributions to world culture and have utilized their success to make a difference in the fight to end the epidemic." I hope the event was a success and will continue to be in the years to come.
