Disney's ALADDIN Arrives in New Zealand January 2019

New Zealand, your wish has been granted!

From the producer of Mary Poppins comes Disney's spectacular musical Aladdin.

Featuring all your favourite songs from the classic Academy Award winning film, including 'Friend Like Me', 'A Whole New World' and 'Arabian Nights', Aladdin is "Exactly what you wish for" (NBC-TV).

The classic tale is brought to thrilling theatrical life on stage with breathtaking sets, mind-blowing special effects, over 300 lavish costumes and a fabulous cast.

Aladdin arrives at The Civic in January 2019. Tickets go on sale in August.

The Australian version of the show, coming to New Zealand shores, boasts a cast of 34 and a staggering 337 glittering costumes, which feature 1,225 different fabrics, 712 different styles of beads and almost 500,000 Swarovski crystals, according to Newshub.

The show uses 40,000kg of scenery and 60,000kg of staging to create the fantasy city of Agrabah including the colourful marketplace, the lush palace of the Sultan and his princess daughter Jasmine and the legendary Cave of Wonder.

The show opened on Broadway in 2014, and since then has broken records and been seen by more than 6 million people worldwide.

The show is based on the Disney movie of the same name, released in 1992 and grossed over $500 million worldwide.
