Disney's Aladdin: The New Stage Musical

A 5th Avenue Theater presentation of a musical in two acts, music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, book and additional lyrics by Chad Beguelin, based on the Disney film written by Ron Clements, John Musker, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, and directed and produced by Ron Clements and John Musker. Directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw. Music supervision/music direction/vocal and incidental music arrangements by Michael Kosarin. Orchestrations, Danny Troob. From the moment the curtain rises on three goofy guys "riding" puppet camels, you know where "Disney's Aladdin: The New Stage Musical" is heading -- straight into the fairy-tale land of old-fashioned song-and-dance and funny stage business. In Casey Nicholaw's staging at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre, this new adaptation of the 1992 Disney film emphasizes patter and pratfalls over scenery and spectacle. When it sticks to its low-tech, high-camp playbook, it is very, very entertaining. When it loses its nerve, it also briefly loses its way. But by the end, the show reaches its intended destination.

This "Aladdin" -- a two-act legit adaptation targeted to regional, stock and amateur stagings rather than a megabudget Broadway incarnation -- differs significantly from the movie, and wisely so. Why even try to re-create Robin Williams' antics as the voice of the genie in the film? On stage, James Monroe Iglehart plays Genie as a fast-talking funk machine, more gritty and grounded than Williams' shapeshifter but just as energetic. Not all Genie's jokes hit their marks (some tossed-off references to Oprah and "American Idol" may not prove evergreen), but Iglehart's soulful voice and hip-shaking shenanigans more than compensate.

Also new here are three sidekicks for Aladdin: food-grubbing Babkak (Brian Gonzalez), mousy Omar (Andrew Keenan-Bolger) and bossy Kassim (Brandon O'Neill). Apparently these characters were created for the film but later cut, along with their songs, which turn out to be some of the best Alan Menken tunes of the evening. "High Adventure," for instance, is a swashbuckling Act II show-stopper, packed with comic swordplay and slapstick, expertly performed.

Babkak, Omar and Kassim -- the aforementioned camel-riders -- set a light-hearted, self-referential tone for the proceedings. Kassim acts as a kind of genial emcee, talking the audience through the mechanics of the musical ("Someone's gotta sing while they change the scenery").
