“Directed by Nicholai La Barrie, the action remains steadfastly in Hammersmith, but features an exhilarating score and some sensational dance routines from choreographer Alexzandra Sarmiento. From the opening medley that features a fusion of Björk and Bruno Mars, Sarmiento’s moves set the pace for the trajectory of the hero Aladdin, played with cheeky, quick-witted boy-band charm by Andre Antonio.”
- The Stage ★★★★
“Alexzandra Sarmiento’s choreography is electric, excellently performed by the multi-talented cast, featuring brilliant moments that blend styles of street dance and hip-hop, making the original story transfer perfectly to a modern-day setting.”
- West End Best Friend ★★★★
“This willingness to have fun and to lean into buffoonery is present across the cast and company, and really helps to establish Aladdin as a marvellous family night out. Add in the striking, energetic choreography from Alexzandra Sarmiento, and the joy becomes even more infectious!”
- All That Dazzles ★★★★
“The performances are really excellent…They get great support from the energetic chorus and slick choreography”
