Just reading on Facebook that the magic carpet hasn't been working for a few days now! They sing Whole New World on the windowsill instead. I wonder if they're going to bother to get it fixed now the show only has a few weeks left to run? That's a shame. Going for the 3rd time tonight with some friends who haven't seen it before. |

Just reading on Facebook that the magic carpet hasn't been working for a few days now Ah, explains why someone was standing on the stage door step with it and a carpet beater - trying to get it to start. Maybe it's gone on strike for better working conditions, if it keeps on being beaten! |

I think there may be an underlaying theme going on here...btw I had a load of carpets and mats stolen from my house last week...police think it’s the work of rug addicts!

Did we ever work out if Jade Ewan has left? Maybe there was some kind of row between her and the carpet

She was just tired of Matthew Cooke getting all the headlines for his rug-ged good looks.

Did I post this before? Anyway...I learned that they will be filming it for BroadwayHD (or one of the streaming sites) in London. It will be the full London cast except the two leads will be from the US.

Do we think closing night prices might come down a bit? I love a closing night but they seem crazy prices right now

Sorry if this is a frequent question, but where are the day seats for this show ? A specific area, or just where there are free seats ?

It was also a fairly quiet day (extra weekday matinee), so I don’t know if the seat would have been as good for a regular performance. |

When are they actually filming it? It's being filmed on the 31st August. So after it closes. Not sure how tickets are being distributed, other than that my work has an internal competition going to get tickets. It is "featuring an international cast representative of the show from all over the world". |

^I suspect it’ll be late next year or 2021, I imagine they’ll use one of the existing tour sets for a UK tour

So there are are only 8 public performances left of Aladdin! The prices haven't come down so it will be at least £50 to get a seat this week! Seems crazy to me.
Who else is there closing night?

I've not got around to seeing it at all and won't before it closes.
I'm fine with that.

I wonder if Disney would have kept it going a bit longer had Cameron not wanted Mary Poppins to go back to the Prince Edward as the live action film has probably boosted sales

Been meaning to post this review for a while now.
So a couple of weeks ago my sister and I went with a visiting Aunt and Uncle to see this.
Now, I need to make it perfectly clear that it's not a case that I didn't enjoy it. I mean I'm please that I saw it but, ultimately, I walked away with a sense of frustration.
Singing, dancing and sets were great, as were the special effects however (in truth) we found the whole thing to be a little panto.
The Genie and the flying carpet were the best things in it.
Quite frankly, Jafar was nearly as evil as he should have been. And e walked around with that bloody staf and did nothing with it! Where was the storyline about hypnotising the Sultan? Iago was 100% panto comedy sidekick.
So Aladdin goes into The Cave of Wonders to get the lamp and when he does, the ensemble come out and =do a huge tap dancing production number dressed in gold lane- this was 42nd Street.
And Aladdin's three mates, the added nothing to the show. The were just time killers and fodder.
With a few little teaks this could have been so much better.
I'm sorry, extremely disappointing

I loved Aladdin’s 3 mates, and their songs
