I've seen pictures of Bret Hart as the genie for a while. I've wondered if I'd ever see that for real. Laughing

This looks entirely ridiculous. Laughing

Yes, Just here in Canada. I don't know if this is an American production or what... but it will only air in Canada.

I am watching it now, and it's a very modernized version of the story. No Tigers, parrots nor any monkeys are in this. Jafar's name is Abenazir, Aladdin's mom's name is Jeannie Bender, and his late father's name is Fender Bender. There's also Weenee and Beans, who are basically Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. There is also The Librarian and Sherazade, who are the same actress. The Sultan and Jasmine are also in this play.

Aladdin, in this version, is portrayed as a skateboarder rather than a thief, and he lives with his mom.

I remember hearing rumors a year or so ago about a live-action modern version of Aladdin; I wonder if this is what they were talking about?

But these rumors you hear, is it about a stage play for kids? This is what the show is.
