As we approach the upcoming seasons for the runnings of Disney's Aladdin, I thought it would be helpful to have a central hub to keep up with each of the show productions for the musical. This worked rather well for the Seattle cast last year (http://ww.aladdincentral.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4495).

If you have any information on any of the four shows (or would like to post a review if you get a chance to check it out), just click the corresponding thread below and post it there.

Today the new Royal Guest Rooms officially make their debut at Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside. These re-imagined rooms feature beds with crystals and gold accents, “magical fireworks” effects, and now comprise the 512 themed rooms at this Walt Disney World Resort hotel.

Each guest staying in one of these fairytale rooms is welcomed via an invitation from New Orleans native, Princess Tiana, of “The Princess and the Frog” fame, or one of her many other royal friends. Room decor is themed to “Aladdin,” “Beauty and the Beast,” or “The Princess and the Frog.”

Artwork, banners, crowns, and fiber-optic headboard effects are among some of the many unique touches Disney’s Imagineers have added to these updated hotel rooms, starting at $189 per night.

“We are excited to build off the highly popular ‘story room’ concept by offering another very immersive and richly themed accommodation for our guests,” said Kevin Myers, Vice President Resorts, Walt Disney World Resort. Disney previously debuted “Pirates of the Caribbean” themed story rooms at the Caribbean Beach hotel. “Storytelling is what Disney does, and these new room offerings clearly provide a great new Disney Resort option for our guests.”

The new Royal Guest Rooms can sleep up to four princes or princesses and can be booked by calling 407-W/DISNEY.

Atlantis Productions, through a special licensing arrangement with Music Theatre International, will stage the Asian premiere of Disney's Aladdin. Performances will begin in November at Manila's Meralco Theatre.

Disney's Aladdin features music by eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken and lyrics by Oscar winner Howard Ashman, Oscar winner Tim Rice and Tony Award-nominated lyricist Chad Beguelin; the latter also penned the book for the musical.

Based on the film, the musical, according to press notes, "tells the story of a street-smart commoner whose whole life changes with one rub of a magic lamp. The brand new romantic musical adventure incorporates all the beloved songs from the film’s Oscar-winning score and brings some of the movie’s most memorable characters to life. Jafar, Iago, the Sultan, the Genie and of course Aladdin and Jasmine come together to create a whole new world of magical musical theatre for the whole family."

Atlantis Productions’ creative head, Bobby Garcia, said in a statement, “We are thrilled to continue our relationship with Disney Theatricals with their brand new stage musical Disney's Aladdin, which only recently premiered in the United States. We are honored that Disney has handpicked us to premiere the musical in Asia. We look forward to creating the enchanting world of Agrabah and the romantic Arabian nights where Aladdin and Princess Jasmine take flight on their magic carpet ride. It will definitely be the musical event for families in 2012. We can’t wait to begin.”

Casting will be announced at a later date.

Reports of Aladdin no longer being part of whatever new "prestige" collection Disney's been releasing appear to have been greatly exaggerated!
