This isn’t technically concept, but since it involves concept work and it’s pretty darn exciting, I had to make a post about it!
Next month Aladdin: A New Stage Musical will premiere in Seattle at the 5th Avenue Theatre, and it features quite a bit of cut material from the initial production of Aladdin - as well as entirely new material!
The new songs, according to Aladdin Musical are “A Million Miles Away”, “Somebody’s Got Your Back” and “A Royal Wedding”.” One of these will be a duet between Aladdin and Jasmine, and another will be a new song for Genie!
So far, the following cut songs are said to be definitely returned to the show for the premiere production: Call Me a Princess; Proud of Your Boy; High Adventure; Why Me; Babkak, Omar, Aladdin, Kassim
It looks like it will be returning to some of Aladdin’s roots! You can view a few song previews on the 5th Avenue Youtube channel. Did I mention Jonathan Freeman, the original voice of Jafar, will be starring as Jafar?
Tickets are on sale now and performances start soon, so get them now!
