Musical "Aladdin" Opens at Busan Dream Theatre on July 11

The musical Aladdin opens at the Dream Theatre in Busan on July 11.

Aladdin premiered in Korea last year, marking its first performance in the country 10 years after its Broadway debut. The show opened at the Charlotte Theatre on November 22, 2024, and completed a long run of about seven months in Seoul. It is now scheduled to be performed in Busan for nearly three months until September 28.

The musical Aladdin is based on the Disney animated film of the same name. It premiered in Seattle, United States, in 2011 and made its Broadway debut in 2014.

Since its premiere, Aladdin has been performed in 11 productions across four continents, attracting approximately 21 million audience members worldwide. The musical garnered significant attention during its Seoul run, thanks to its cross-generational storytelling and the iconic numbers composed by master musician Alan Menken.
