Disney’s Aladdin for Edinburgh
Autumn dates as UK tour opens at Playhouse
The first UK tour of Disney’s Aladdin is set to open this Autumn at the Edinburgh Playhouse, where the show is flying in for a four week run from 24 October to 18 November 2023.
Tickets for the run will go on general sale on March 31 and full casting will be announced in due course. After Edinburgh, the show will tour to Cardiff, Plymouth, Sunderland and Milton Keynes.
Adapted from Disney’s 1992 animated film, the musical continues its record-breaking run on Broadway where it opened in March 2014. Nine subsequent productions have launched around the world, including West End premiere in 2016 where it ran at the Prince Edward Theatre until August 2019.
Aladdin features the original songs from the animated film, as well as new music by Alan Menken with lyrics by Howard Ashman, Tim Rice and Chad Beguelin. The book by Beguelin is directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw. Between them, they have won more awards than you could shake a lamp at.
Thomas Schumacher, President & Producer Disney Theatrical Productions said: “As Aladdin approaches its second decade onstage, we are thrilled that the 11th production of the glorious Broadway show will soon be seen by audiences throughout the UK and Ireland.
“Thanks to Casey Nicholaw’s direction, Alan Menken’s music and the peerless design team of Bob Crowley, Natasha Katz and Gregg Barnes this show is a powerful tonic, an irresistible lift for every audience who sees it,
“The musical theatre performers in the UK and Ireland rival any on the planet and we look forward to presenting the best of them in this joyous new production.”
