We were looking for a musical to introduce our kids (6-8yo) to Broadway, and had a choice between artistic spectacles grappling with all sorts of adult issues (homosexuality, cross-dressing, race relations, 9/11 etc) and Disney schmaltz (ugh). I reluctantly bought tickets to Alladin, and was pleasantly surprised. A fun time was had by all - even Disney-saturated mom. The show has all you would want from a traditional broadway show - big dance numbers, comedy, fabulous sets and show stealing bad guys.
