Hello friends, it has been a long time. Very Happy

Where have I been? I fell ill very ill this past summer. But, I am back. So I found out the Aladdin Musical Spectacular is not going anywhere and is still going to be a Broadway Play.
Better yet. AMS is holding auditions this fall.. Anybody interested?

desires Jasmine;

Ehhhhhhh, mumbly mumbly disagree mumbly Laughing

But I hope you're doing better, Mariposa! And it's good to hear the show isn't going anywhere yet. I haven't seen it in person, but hopefully I will next summer. They can do what they have to after I've seen it Laughing

/selfish

But speaking of which, has anyone heard anything about broadway? I thought there was talks of that, but I haven't heard anything....

Anyway, confirmed!

I still haven't heard anything about it being on Broadway, though; it just says it's "Broadway-caliber"...

Edit: And I'd like to add that I'm amused that the actual heights of Aladdin and Jasmine are the minimum heights for this musical. Laughing
