The Malvern Theatre Society is heading to Agrabah, City of Enchantment, for its first Middle School musical.
Middle Schoolers from Malvern Prep and Villa Maria Academy will perform Disney's "Aladdin Junior" on Friday, January 27 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, January 28 at 3:00 p.m. Tickets may be purchased online at http://www.malvernprep.org/AladdinJr. All of your favorite characters return for "Aladdin Junior," a stage adaptation of the hit 1992 Disney film. Filled with magic, mayhem, and flying carpet rides, the show features the film’s Academy award-winning score with songs including “A Whole New World,” “Friend Like Me,” “Arabian Nights,” “One Jump Ahead,” and “Prince Ali.” The show also includes the song “Why Me,” sung by Jafar (Turner Emery) and Iago (Andrew Pezdirtz), which was originally written for the Disney film but was not included in it.
Inside the Royal Palace gates in the faraway city of Agrabah, Princess Jasmine (Ashleigh Jaramillo) prepares to choose a husband. Against Jasmine's wishes, her father the Sultan (Nick Elia) insists that she pick from among three visiting Princes (Brendan Farrell, Desmond Papariello and Kyle Murphy) by the following day. The Princes' public introduction is interrupted by a fleeing bread thief. Wandering among the crowd, a poor street urchin, Aladdin (Christian Frank), suddenly finds himself holding the stolen bread and pursued by royal guards. Amidst in the commotion, Jasmine adopts a disguise and seizes the opportunity to escape into the bustling marketplace, where she bumps into Aladdin, and their adventure together begins.
