This blog is dedicated to Disney's Aladdin: Broadway's New Musical Comdey. Following a successful Pilot Production at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre in 2011, and regional and international productions in 2012, Disney announced that Aladdin would be coming to Broadway in 2014. Aladdin had it's pre-Broadway engagement at Toronto's Ed Mirvish Theatre and opened on Broadway 20th March 2014.
The Broadway Princess Party is returning to 54 Below!!!
Yes, tomorrow night, Courtney Reed (Aladdin), Sierra Boggess (The Little Mermaid), Samantha Massell (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) and more will be joining Laura Osnes at 54 Below for another Princess Party!
After two sold out shows last year the princesses are back for more nights of musical magic!
And if you can't wait to meet the princesses then People has you covered as they interview the stars and ask that all important question - just what would a modern day Disney princess wear?
Last year's concerts looked amazing so I really wish I could make it to one of these! If you can, be sure to check it out! It'll be a fantastic evening of music and Disney magic!

Welcome to the latest news round up for Broadway's Aladdin! Finally back on a weekly schedule (let's see how long it lasts this time!)
First off I just want to say a massive congratulations to last week's Tony Award winners, including Aladdin's Bob Crowley who won Best Scenic Design of a Musical, along with Benjamin Pearcy and Leo Warner, for An American in Paris, and Natasha Katz who won Best Lighting Design of a Musical for the same show. Casey Nicholaw's Something Rotten! may not have taken home Best Musical (check out their fantastic new poster below) but, like Aladdin, it did take home Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical so congratulations to Christian Borle!

Last week Broadway's Aladdin featured on ABC's The Bachelorette. Now Wetpaint has some more photos from the episode, Business 2 Community has posted a short article on the episode and if you live in the US you can watch the whole episode right here on Hulu. Or if you just want the Aladdin section Good Morning America has posted a special behind the scenes look at that part of the episode and Broadway World has the video of the Aladdin part of the show featuring Adam Jacobs and Courtney Reed (both videos are sadly only viewable in the US). Finally, the Bachelorette herself has also posted a blog about her Broadway experience over at People!
Finally this week, James Monroe Iglehart discussed his recent 54 Below show with Playbill as he and other Broadway stars talk about how they put their cabaret shows together.
