Based on the iconic animated film, with an Academy Award-winning score by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, Disney’s Aladdin JR. is sure to send audiences soaring on a flying carpet ride filled with romance, magic, mayhem and adventure.

In the middle-eastern town of Agrabah, Princess Jasmine is feeling hemmed in by her father’s desire to find her a royal groom. Meanwhile, the Sultan’s right-hand man, Jafar, is plotting to take over the throne. When Jasmine sneaks out of the palace incognito, she forms an instant connection with Aladdin, a charming street urchin and reformed thief. After being discovered together, Aladdin is sentenced to death, but Jafar saves him by ordering him to fetch a lamp from the Cave of Wonders. Where there’s a lamp, there’s a Genie, and once Aladdin unwittingly lets this one out, anything can happen! Will Aladdin’s new identity as “Prince Ali” help him win Jasmine’s heart and thwart Jafar’s evil plans? Will the Genie’s wish for freedom ever come true?

Directed by Arlington resident Michele Clifford with musical direction by Tim Maurice and choreography by Christopher Cavallo, the production features two casts of nearly 70 local students.

Featuring the iconic songs "Arabian Nights," "One Jump Ahead, "Friend Like Me," and "A Whole New World," Aladdin JR. is a favorite among audiences of all ages.
