Creative Genie-us? There are three…
BOB CROWLEY
Using his wealth of theatrical experience, the legendary set designer has drawn on Middle Eastern tiles, rugs, textiles and architecture for Aladdin. His signature Crowley flourishes – unexpected perspectives, back-lit silk drops and arrays of pendant votive lights – create a visual extravaganza of opulence and impact.
CASEY NICHOLAW
One of Broadway’s hottest talents, director and choreographer Casey Nicholaw started his career as a dancer. He is also a huge Disney fan, making him the perfect choice to transform Aladdin into something dazzlingly different, something larger than life, and something quintessentially theatrical.
ALAN MENKEN
This Oscarwinning musician has a staggering number of stage and screen accolades. As composer for Aladdin, he took inspiration from popular jazz-era movies. ‘I’m delighted to have had a hand in reshaping Aladdin,’ he says. ‘I love the show and all the music.’
