Disney Theatrical Productions and Stage Entertainment celebrated the European premiere of Disney’s Broadway musical Aladdin last night at the Stage Theatre Neue Flora in Hamburg, Germany. The production was cast locally and is performed in German.

The German cast of Aladdin stars Richard-Salvador Wolff as Aladdin, Myrthes Monteiro as Jasmine, Enrico De Pieri as Genie, and Ethan Freeman as Jafar. Aladdin’s sidekicks Kassim, Babkak, and Omar are played by Philipp Hägeli, Stefan Tolnai, and Pedro Reichert, respectively. Eric Minsk plays Iago, and Sultan is played by Claus Dam.

Broadway's Aladdin began performances at the New Amsterdam Theatre on February 26, 2013, and opened March 20. It received five Tony Award nominations and seven Drama Desk Award nominations. James Monroe Iglehart received both honors for his performance as Genie. The film version won two Academy Awards: Best Original Score and Best Original Song for "A Whole New World."
