WHO'S IN IT?: DISNEY'S ALADDIN CAST
Trevor Dion Nicholas takes on the iconic role of the Genie, fresh from the Broadway production, with Matthew Croke as Aladdin and Jade Ewen as Princess Jasmine. Joining them are Irvine Iqbal as the Sultan, Don Gallagher as Jafar, Nick Cavaliere as Iago, Leon Craig as Babkak, Daniel de Bourg as Kassim and Miles Barrow as Omar.
WHAT'S THE STORY?
Set in the fictional Arabian town of Agrabah, orphan 'street rat' Aladdin spends his days foraging for food and trying to stay one jump ahead of the palace guards. High up in the palace, Princess Jasmine feels trapped by the Sultan’s insistence that she find a suitable husband, resentful of the notion that she must marry for status rather than for love. A chance meeting between the Princess and the street rat instantly sparks a connection, though the path to a perfect ending does not run smoothly.
Set a mission by the Sultan’s evil right-hand man Jafar, Aladdin must retrieve a magical lamp from the mystical Cave of Wonders. Just one rub of the lamp unleashes the Genie within, and with his help Aladdin attempts to thwart Jafar’s evil plans and win the Princess’ heart. Using the three wishes the Genie grants him, will Aladdin’s new persona, ‘Prince Ali’, be enough to save Agrabah and convince the Sultan that he truly is a ‘diamond in the rough’?
