Aladdin Reviews

RumTumJM - I didn't notice any changes to the wedding scene with Jafar. The effect for his transition to sultan and then genie was the same in both shows I saw.
ryandl15 - This photo is the set before and after the carpet ride. It's a window in the palace (actually a full circle on stage), and like the movie, Aladdin jumps over the edge and then reappears standing on the carpet.

After Jasmine jumps on, the four pieces that make up the window set fly out (the bottom piece lowers) and the moon disappears, so the stage is dark except for the lights that represent stars you see on the backdrop. Aladdin and Jasmine are lit from below by lights in the carpet.
It's a very smooth ride and the carpet can turn 180 degrees. What's also impressive is the safety rigging for the actors is very discreet - they just seem to jump on and off with no visible harness or anything.

They fixed the ending!
I was at the final performance today as well, having first seen the show on opening night. I had found the finale very underwhelming - Aladdin and Jasmine riding off on camels with a "Just Married" sign on the back. Today their exit was completely different, and it ends the show on an emotional high that wasn't there previously. (I'm not going to spoil it.)
I agree with the person above who says Friend Like Me will get a standing ovation in New York. Toda
