February 11, 2022Aladdin Coming to Proctors in 2022
Disney Theatrical Productions, under the direction of Thomas Schumacher, announced today that a newly-imagined North American tour of Aladdin is scheduled to launch in October 2022, allowing the hit Broadway musical to entertain new audiences in cities and venues which couldn’t accommodate the previous tour. To receive news about the tour, please sign-up for email alerts at www.AladdinTheMusical.com/tour. (The tour had previously been announced for a fall 2021 launch but was delayed by the Covid shutdown.)
This new tour will launch in Schenectady, NY at Proctors, playing October 11-23, 2022. The engagement will mark the first time Aladdin can be seen anywhere in North America outside New York since March 2020. During the 2022-23 season, the tour will play 36 cities, including Austin, Kansas City and San Antonio (all three of these markets were on sale when the first tour had to close prematurely because of the industry shutdown). The production’s full itinerary and casting will be announced at a later date.
This new production of Aladdin will employ approximately 75 theater professionals traveling with the show and about 40 additional locals in each city. To date, the long-running Broadway production and previous three-year tour employed more than 600 theatre-makers.
“Certainly we are thrilled to have Disney return to create a new national tour, but I have to say, Aladdin has been asked for by the people of the Capital Region of New York ever since it first opened on Broadway eight years ago!,” said Proctors Collaborative CEO Philip Morris. “We are ecstatic to have it here.”
