Disney's
Aladdin Jr, July 2006
This show gave SBLI Juniors the chance to take centre stage in a brand new adaptation of the famous Disney film. The cast of 21 (all aged 7-14) showed off their talents in an all-singing, all-dancing show, featuring classics such as A Whole New World and Friend Like Me. The classic storyline, full of romance, intrigue and fun, was brought to life in hot, sultry conditions, a perfect way for the audience to imagine those Arabian nights!
While the cast were busy rehearsing, the challenge for the production team was to turn an empty room in Stokesley Town Hall into a magical world worthy of this fairy tale romance. The lighting and sound rig, stage and backdrops went up first, with swathes of black fabric to create wings, then tiny finishing touches like sequins and glass pebbles to add sparkle. Although the process had us tearing our hair out at times, the effect in the end was worth it.
