SHOW GUIDES

Seeing Aladdin on Broadway With Kids

Aladdin works well for children who enjoy familiar songs, comic characters and big stage effects. The Genie’s numbers and the flying-carpet sequence are among the production’s visual highlights.

Aladdin tickets

Checked

Know the family rules

Disney recommends the Broadway production for ages six and up, and the Broadway venue admits ages two and up. All admitted guests need a ticket. The show lasts about 2 hours 30 minutes including an intermission. A matinee can be easier if children are used to an early bedtime.

Pick seats and plan a break

A centered seat with some distance from the stage gives a broad view of the larger effects. Ask the New Amsterdam Theatre about booster seats or an accessible route before booking a particular level. Plan bathroom time before curtain or at intermission and check advisories if a child is sensitive to loud effects.
