Production à la création:

Ce spectacle se joue à l'Hyperion Theater, un théâtre de plus de 2000 places situé au pied de la Tower of Terror au bout de la reproduction de l'Hollywood Boulevard, dans le parc Disney California Adventure en Californie. La salle rappelle les salles du début du XXe siècle ainsi que les théâtres classiques.
Durant le spectacle, très inspiré des comédies musicales de Broadway, plusieurs des scènes et chansons du film Aladdin (1992) sont reproduites sur scène. Alan Menken composa une chanson supplémentaire pour ce spectacle nommée To Be Free. Les scènes présentées utilisent des accessoires comme des tapis volants, une têtre de tigre géante,... Le spectacle possède aussi une particularité qui le rend très populaire : les dialogues du Génie ne sont pas fixe et reflèete la culture populaire.

Film "Aladdin" des Studio Disney

The production is a Broadway-type show. Many of the classic scenes and songs from the movie are re-created on stage and some of the action even spills out into the aisles, like Prince Ali's jubilant arrival in Agrabah on elephant back. Flying carpets, magic lamps, wise-cracking genies, princesses, and evil wizards - are all a part of this musical production.
This 45 minute production takes place in the 2,000 seat Hyperion Theater, located at the end of Hollywood Blvd. The exterior has design features reminiscent of many classic theaters.
Alan Menken composed and wrote lyrics for a new song for this production, called To Be Free. The show has been quite popular because while much of it is scripted, the dialogue of the Genie constantly changes to reflect popular culture.
When Disney's California Adventure opened, an original Disney musical called Disney's Steps in Time was on stage at the Hyperion. A scaled-down version of the musical Blast! Followed.
