Know before you go: Disney's Aladdin The Musical
Before you visit Aladdin’s Cave of Wonders read through the following useful information to help you plan your visit to The Civic.
This production contains theatrical smoke, fog effects, pyrotechnics, strobe lighting and loud noises.
Aladdin runs for approximately 2 hours and 25 minutes, including a 20 minute interval.
Get there early
We suggest you arrive at the theatre 40-50 minutes prior to the start of the show. This will allow you plenty of time to find your seats before Aladdin begins. The Civic foyers and bars will be open one hour prior to the performance start time.
If you are bringing small children, or people with limited mobility, we recommend arriving in plenty of time to allow for bathroom breaks and finding your seats prior to the performance start time.

Photography and recording of any kind are not permitted once the show starts. Out of consideration for the performers on stage and other audience members, please turn your phone off completely before the lights go down.
