Remaining Aladdin Tour Dates Cancelled Due to COVID-19

Following Thursday's announcement that the Austin leg of the Aladdin tour was being postponed it has now been confirmed that both the San Antonio and Kansas City runs have also been postponed.

Whilst I cannot find the official announcement for the San Antonio postponement, San Antonio Theater's independent guide is listing the production as cancelled. For Kansas City, Broadway in KC has issued the following statement:

"Due to the growing concern over COVID-19, and out of an abundance of caution, Broadway in KC will be postponing all performances of Disney's Aladdin (April 15-26) until further notice.

PLEASE HOLD ON TO YOUR TICKETS AS WE WORK TO RESCHEDULE THIS ENGAGEMENT. We are navigating an unprecedented situation in real time, and ask for your patience as we work to bring Disney's Aladdin back to Kansas City as quickly as possible. We will be in touch as soon as possible with more information on the status of this event.

Thank you for your patience and your continued support. For updates, visit BroadwayInKC.com"

Whilst both Austin and Kansas City state that they are working to bring Aladdin back as quickly as possible it will most likely NOT be this current production. Reggie De Leon posted on Instagram that "the Aladdin tour unexpectedly played its last performance on Thursday … Love you all, and stay safe everyone!!!"

The first National Tour, which began in Chicago in 2017, was set to conclude it's three year run in Kansas City with a newly configured tour set to launch in fall next year. Best guess (and it is just a guess) is that when Aladdin comes to Austin and Kansas City it will be as part of this new tour.

Korie, Jonah, Kaena, Reggie, Jonathan, Jerald, Zach, Ben, Colt, and everyone involved in bringing this magical show to life these last three years, thank you so much. I'm so sorry it ended in this way, but the magic and joy you have brought to millions is priceless. If I know anything, it's that with Aladdin it's never truly goodbye so I hope to see you all in Agrabah again some day. Thank you for all the high adventures, I wish you all a magical future wherever your paths may lead.
