Disney’s Aladdin Jr

Published by St Faith's, Cambridge on Thursday 20th of April 2023

The Year 6 production is always an exciting and uplifting finale to the Lent term at St Faith’s. This year’s sell-out musical production of Disney’s ‘Aladdin Jr.’ was no exception. The children and staff worked tirelessly throughout the term, both in Drama lessons and during rehearsal times. In getting ready for the two performances Year 6 truly rose to the challenge – learning choreography, lines and music with true dedication. Pupils really took ownership of their roles and enjoyed bringing each character to life. Aladdin Jr. is set in the atmospheric desert city of Agrabah, and tells the tale of a boy called Aladdin – described as both a ‘street rat’, and a ‘diamond in the rough’. With the help of the friends he meets along the way, Aladdin learns that his true worth is not determined by appearance, but lies deep within. The audience were invited into a land where magic carpets exist and where a genie could be waiting to be summoned from a lamp, to grant them three wishes!
