One that makes his late mother proud (“Proud of Your Boy”). Babkak, Omar and Kassim go off to find their own food while Aladdin returns to his humble abode, dreaming of a better life. His friends are eager to share his bread…but then he gives them to a beggar lady. No, Abu is not appearing in this production-though there are plenty of references to him. He gets help with his friends-Babkak (Michael James Scott), Omar (Jonathan Schwartz) and Kassim (Brandon O’Neill). The show opens with the Genie (James Monroe Iglehart) setting the scene in “Arabian Nights.” He then turns things over to Aladdin (Adam Jacobs), who has to duck the palace guards again after making off with some bread (“One Jump Ahead”).
Let’s go ride on a magic carpet into a whole new world of SPOILERS!
