There are two sides to every story…
In this hilarious musical parody we finally get to see the story of Aladdin from the villains point of view – and boy is it a whole new world! Told in a similar style to ‘Wicked’, this twisted version of the childhood classic reveals Ja’far is actually a hardworking and honest man who only wants to help the people of the Magic Kingdom. When the spoiled and naive Princess angers the prince of the Kingdom of Pik-zar, Ja’far must protect his people from the invading army, the kingdom’s own bumbling Sultan and the most notorious thief in the land, Aladdin! This musical adventure celebrates and lovingly pokes fun at everyone’s favorite series of hand-drawn, animated films.
****This show is recommended for ages 16+ due to bad language, cartoon violence and scenes of a saucy nature.
