Disney's Aladdin: Dual Language Edition

In Disney’s Aladdin Dual Language Edition, our story begins centuries ago, when the royalty of Agrabah spoke one language and the citizens another. Communication is impossible without translation… which is controlled by the evil vizier, Jafar. When the rebellious princess (Jazmin) and a delinquent street rat (Aladdin) meet in the marketplace, they find something special in one another. Together, they work to transcend the barriers between them and, with a little magic, help create a better future for themselves and for Agrabah. This bilingual adaptation returns to The Magik Theatre, last appearing on our stage in 2012.

The story comes to life onstage April 24 – June 2, 2018. There will be a special opening night performance on May 4 at 6:30 p.m. Regular performance times are Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. For tickets, visit MagikTheatre.org or call the box office at 210-227-2751.
