The New Amsterdam Theatre is on 42nd Street, just off Times Square, and was built in 1902-1903. It is known as ‘The House Beautiful’ and is now a New York City landmark: it’s the oldest operating theatre on Broadway and is still known for its intricate Art Deco interior.
The Aladdin set is one of the most glorious parts of the production: designed by Bob Crowley, who has won seven Tony Awards, it’s a spectacular extravaganza that celebrates the story and musical set pieces without taking away from the action. The famous magic carpet ride that carries Aladdin and Jasmine into the air wows every single audience member every night.
