"Disney's Aladdin" show #686

This past Sunday brought me to Agrabah to see what kind of street-rat mischief Aladdin was getting into. The iconic score by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman received some staging additions by Tim Rice and Chad Beguelin (both credited with additional lyrics, and Mr. Beguelin with the book). Now on tour, this Disney classic is providing San Francisco audiences with a joyous time at the theater for the holiday season. Adam Jacobs reprises the title role, a role he originated in the still-running Broadway production, for the tour at a great level of animated believability. While the burden of the plot doesn’t solely rest on Mr. Jacobs’ shoulders, it is in his enthusiasm, soft voice, and bouncy physicality that make him the rightful leader of this musical endeavor.

The plot of the musical follows the majority of the plot of the film with only slight, insignificant deviations. What makes Disney's Aladdin: the Musical an appropriate choice for a stage adaptation is that the added songs don’t disrupt the established gems from the film’s score. While Mr. Beguelin’s and Mr. Rice’s lyrics serve more to emphasize their own creativity rather than the characters’ internal dialogue, Mr. Beguelin’s book nicely ties up within the context of the added songs and established story. Mr. Jacobs is flawless in his performance of the standards “One Jump Ahead” and “A Whole New World” while maintaining the boyish charm and energy needed to satisfy Aladdin fans of all ages. The added song (which was cut from the film), “Proud of Your Boy,” is gorgeous when delivered by Mr. Jacobs’ soothing voice and astute attention to the emotional detail Mr. Ashman’s original lyrics evoke. The multitude of reprises of “Proud of Your Boy” are welcomed fluff that allow more opportunities for the writers to remind us that he is, indeed, honoring the memory of Aladdin’s deceased mother. Opposite Mr. Jacobs is a wonderful performance by Isabelle McCalla as Princess Jasmine. Miss McCalla gives Jasmine a nice dose of modern spunk properly paired with an expected dose of sass from the princess who “is not a prize to be won.” With Miss McCalla’s performance comes a nice degree of truth behind what could be construed as just another Disney princess. Miss McCalla’s voice shines in a lamenting “These Palace Walls,” an added song that fits well with Jasmine’s desire to escape her palace dwelling. Miss McCalla does not disappoint when she is paired with Mr. Jacobs and sent flying on a magic carpet ride in “A Whole New World.” However, in the Act One set up duet, the two leading lovers sing a dynamite “A Million Miles Away,” a true first act musical highlight.

JC Montgomery brings a gravitas to his Sultan, father of Jasmine, which serves as an effective delineation from the bumbling buffoon in the film. While I applaud Jonathan Weir’s commitment to his acting choices as Jafar, the film and play’s villain, his presence serves little in the way of being in any way commanding or villainous. His sidekick Iago (a human in the play rather than the Gilbert Godfried-voiced bird in the film) is played finely by Reggie De Leon. Zach Bencal (Babkak), Philippe Arroyo (Omar), and Mike Longo (Kassim) steal more than just riches, but the show itself, mostly in Act Two, with a fantastic song-and-dance performance “Somebody’s Got Your Back.” Their Act One “introductory” number, “Babkak, Omar, Aladdin, Kassim” is a fun romp for the four boys to show off some of Casey Nicholaw’s athletic, mostly impressive choreography.

Speaking of choreography, though none of the numbers truly dazzle from start to finish, but rather impress at moments within the number, the almost agonizingly long “Friend Like Me” is a tap-tastic, costume-change rampant marathon for the hardworking ensemble, and was led mostly well by Korie Lee Blossey as the Genie. Mr. Blossey is credited as the Standby for the Genie and Sultan and, unfortunately, his performance was not up to snuff. The comedic timing and vocal chops didn’t consistently land in Mr. Blossey’s turn as the role that was voiced triumphantly by Robin Williams in the film and became a Tony-winning role for James Monroe Iglehart. Mr. Blossey certainly earns the applause for commitment and effort, and certainly knows how to turn a punchline into a bit, but doesn’t quite blossom in the way that is expected for the Genie.

Remembering certain technical aspects from when I saw the original cast on Broadway several years ago, I am still impressed with how colorful and beautiful Gregg Barnes’ costumes are. Mr. Barnes’ design uniformly, properly paints the cast as peasants, royalty, commoners, and a slew of other character types. Bob Crowley’s excellent scenic design effectively transforms the Orpheum Theater stage into a palace, a marketplace, the Cave of Wonders, and the night sky. With all this under the direction of Mr. Nicholaw, the show finds its moments of wonder, magic, and overall warmth that the story of Aladdin and Jasmine imposes upon the audience. While it is rare for an iconic film to be adapted to the stage well, Disney's Aladdin is a case of the right people adapting a worthy piece of Disney magic to the stage. You won’t want to miss it.
