Hop on a flying carpet and let Yucaipa Little Theatre’s production of “Aladdin and His Wonderful, Magical Lamp”, written by Tim Kelly and music & lyrics by Pam Hughes, take you on a mystical trip to the city of Shammar in Old Arabia! This musical fantasy will delight audiences of all ages.

Meet the adventurous Aladdin (Brad Reinking) and his mischievous monkey, Alakazam (Zack Lungstrum). Aladdin’s mother (Sabrina Billings) and sister Neela (Tianna Prescott) are at their wit’s end trying to get Aladdin to settle down. It’s not easy, especially with merchants and neighbors complaining about Aladdin’s tricks. One day Aladdin meets the beautiful Princess Jasmine (Haley Kooyman) and vows he will marry her. Aladdin, however, is visited by the evil magician, Jammal (Daren Prescott), and his wicked sister, Halima (Brandi Winningham). They know that only a boy named Aladdin can enter the mysterious cave, which houses a strange lamp containing a genie (Chris Egan) who will grant Jammal all the power he craves. Tricking Jammal, Aladdin claims the magic lamp for himself and with its power, wins the princess and impresses the Sultan (Andrew Quinlan), by building a beautiful palace. But Jammal isn’t through with his evil ways! He regains possession of the lamp, kidnaps Jasmine and magically transports Aladdin’s new palace to the shores of Morocco ! Aladdin, in his attempt to save Jasmine, must face Chop-Chop (Mike Winningham), the executioner and, of course, regain possession of the lamp. Come and see if Aladdin can win back the lamp, Princess Jasmine and avoid the executioner’s sword!
