Cast

History

The production is a Broadway-type show. Many of the scenes and songs from the movie are re-created on stage and some of the action spills out into the aisles, such as Prince Ali's arrival in Agrabah on elephant back.
At Disney California Adventure, the 45-minute production took place in the 2,000 seat Hyperion Theater, located at the end of Hollywood Land. While most of the show was scripted, the Genie's dialogue often changed to reflect current events in the news and popular culture. The musical replaced the venue's previous show, The Power of Blast, which played from 2001 to 2002.
In September 2015, it was announced that the show's final day of performance would be January 10, 2016. and it was replaced by a musical stage show inspired by Disney's animated film Frozen, which opened in May 2016.

Soundtrack

Buena Vista Records released an official soundtrack to the production in 2003. This is an original cast recording, and includes almost every piece of music used in the show. The main cast on the recording is Miles Wesley, Deedee Magno, Nick Santa Maria, Lance Roberts and Jamila Ajibade. Orchestrations by Timothy Williams.
