Aladdin – The West End Musical brings the magic of Disney's animated classic to the stage at the historic Prince Edward Theatre in London's Theatreland. The production features a book by Chad Beguelin, music by Alan Menken, and lyrics by Howard Ashman, Tim Rice, and Beguelin. Audiences are transported to the fictional city of Agrabah with spectacular sets, flying carpets, and show-stopping numbers like 'A Whole New World' and 'Friend Like Me.'
