To date, Aladdin has welcomed more than 6.5 million guests to the New Amsterdam and appeared on the Top 10 list of highest-grossing Broadway shows nearly every week of its run. There have been 11 productions on four continents welcoming over 21 million guests.

The current Broadway cast is led by Adi Roy in the title role, Michael James Scott as Genie (Scott is currently on a brief hiatus to star in the Muny's La Cage aux Folles), Sonya Balsara as Jasmine, and Dennis Stowe as Jafar. The show also features Jacob Ben-Shmuel, Colt Prattes, and Michael Schimmele as Aladdin’s sidekicks Omar, Kassim, and Babkak, respectively; JC Montgomery as Sultan; and Don Darryl Rivera as Iago. Caleb B. Barnett, Wes Hart, and Marcus M. Martin stand by for several principals.

The stage production, which expands the 90-minute film into a two-act format, has music by Alan Menken, lyrics by the late Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, and a book and additional lyrics by Chad Beguelin. Casey Nicholaw directs and choreographs.

Aladdin opened at the New Amsterdam March 20, 2014, following previews that began February 26. The musical was nominated for five 2014 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. James Monroe Iglehart won the Tony for his performance as the Genie.
