A poor but street-wise young man named Aladdin is caught stealing a loaf of bread in the marketplace. He narrowly escapes the guards with the help of his friends and fellow thieves: Babkak, Omar, and Kassim (One Jump Ahead). A royal entourage appears, with Prince Abdullah on his way to woo Princess Jasmine. Aladdin gets in the way and the Prince mocks him bitterly. Aladdin realizes he must try to change his life for the better and makes a promise to his deceased mother (Proud of Your Boy). MARKETPLACE OF AGRABAH Aladdin and his friends busk for money, attempting to make a living without stealing (Babkak, Omar, Aladdin, Kassim). Amid the commotion, Jasmine, who has adopted a disguise and appears in the crowd, meets Aladdin. Aladdin shows her around, and Jasmine takes an apple from a vendor’s cart as a gift for Aladdin. The vendor apprehends Jasmine for stealing, but Aladdin helps her escape and brings her to his hovel. MARKETPLACE OF AGRABAH The two runaways share their experience of feeling trapped (A Million Miles Away). When the guards find them, Jasmine removes her disguise and demands Aladdin’s release, but the guards will only obey the Sultan. Jasmine leaves for the palace at once. Jafar and Iago, having observed Aladdin’s capture, don disguises and bribe the guards to release Aladdin to them. They then convince Aladdin to fetch the magic lamp (Diamond in the Rough) from the Cave of Wonders. ALADDIN’S HOVEL Aladdin finds the lamp, but touches a necklace that reminds him of Jasmine, causing the cave to collapse. Trapped inside, Aladdin rubs the lamp and releases the Genie (Friend Like Me), who helps his new master escape the cave. Meanwhile at the palace, Jafar tells Jasmine that Aladdin has been executed for attempting to kidnap the Princess. Jasmine is distraught and promises to fire Jafar when she becomes Queen. CAVE OF WONDERS Aladdin asks Genie for advice and discovers that a genie can only be freed of his servitude if his master wishes it so. Aladdin promises he will do it, and Genie grants the first of Aladdin’s three wishes by turning him into a Prince, thus making him eligible for Princess Jasmine’s hand in marriage. Aladdin senses that his luck will finally change for the better (Act One Finale). THE DESERT The villainous royal vizier, Jafar, and his lackey, Iago, lament the arrival of Prince Abdullah. If Jasmine chooses the Prince, the vizier will no longer be next in line for the throne. Luckily for Jafar, Princess Jasmine refuses the Prince and swears to marry only for love. The Sultan decrees she must obey the law and marry a prince, so Jasmine decides to run away (These Palace Walls). Desperate to gain control of the kingdom, Jafar finds a spell to lead him to a lamp holding an all-powerful genie. To get to the lamp, they will need the help of the “Diamond in the Rough,” who is revealed to be Aladdin. THE PALACE Synopsis Photo by Deen van Meer. ACT 1 Study Guide for Disney’s ALADDIN: THE HIT BROADWAY MUSICAL 5 Disguised as Prince Ali of Ababwa, Aladdin arrives at the palace with fanfare and impresses the Sultan (Prince Ali), but Jasmine resists following anyone’s orders. Now part of Ali’s entourage, Kassim advises Aladdin to be honest with the Princess. Aladdin refuses and Kassim, Omar, and Babkak return to the marketplace. Genie appears and encourages Aladdin to be himself now that he’s in the palace, but Aladdin, afraid that Jasmine won’t think highly of a street-rat, doubles down on his “Ali” act. Jafar and Iago plot to get rid of this latest suitor and question Ali’s heritage. They send him to Jasmine’s chambers, which will cause him to break the law by trespassing. “Prince Ali” gains Jasmine’s trust and invites her to ride on a magic carpet (A Whole New World). Returning to the palace, they agree to marry in the morning and bid farewell. As Aladdin revels in his success, the guards seize him on Jafar’s orders. Omar overhears Aladdin’s capture and runs to the marketplace for help. Babkak, Omar, and Kassim decide to storm the palace (High Adventure), but are ultimately apprehended and thrown into the dungeon. Aladdin summons Genie to use his second wish to free him and his friends (Somebody’s Got Your Back). Aladdin agrees to free Genie as soon as he comes clean to Jasmine. While Genie retreats to the lamp to pack, the guards recapture Babkak, Omar, and Kassim. Jasmine tells the Sultan she has fallen in love. Thrilled, the Sultan prepares for the wedding and Ali’s ultimate ascension to the throne. Overwhelmed by the sudden pressures of ruling a kingdom, Aladdin tells Genie that he must save his final wish for himself, just in case. Jafar and Iago overhear Aladdin and, realizing he is the diamond in the rough, steal the lamp at the first opportunity. The next morning at the wedding, Jafar, having taken possession of Genie and captured Jasmine, reveals Aladdin’s true identity (Prince Ali – Reprise). Jafar uses his second wish to become Sultan and seizes the royal throne. Aladdin tricks Jafar into wishing to become a genie… forever trapping him inside a lamp of his own! With Genie’s lamp back in hand, Aladdin uses his final wish to free his friend. He then promises to be true to Jasmine, if she’ll have him. The initially reluctant Sultan now grants his consent, gives Jasmine equal ruling power, and everyone lives happily, and freely, ever after (Finale Ultimo). THE PALACE ACT 2 When you attend Aladdin, pay attention to the various settings of the show. How do the colors and textures of the marketplace differ from those in the palace?
