Disney's Broadway Musical Aladdin: Review

When Christmas day came along, I always wanted to see a hit Broadway show. I have seen shows on Broadway but I haven't seen a Disney musical since I was 5, I believe my very first show was Beauty and the Beast. I woke up Christmas morning with a lot of video games and pop figures and one envelope, saying I was seeing Aladdin on January 3rd 2016. Now i have seen the show, i'll be taking about the good and the bad.

What I like about this play is taking material from the movie, also the acting is amazing. All of the actors portray the characters from the movie. The costumes were awesome to look at, also the when the bring the magic carpet in I was amazed! The carpet was freaking flying!!!! No strings!! We need to acknowledge to elephant in the room, the guy who played Genie; he daps on stage. My mom screamed "HEY MIKE YOU DO THAT!!" Some people laughed in the balcony. Also Genie broke the fourth wall a lot and It was enjoyable to see. The acting was amazing, the scenery was amazing and walking in the theater looks like you were in the middle east.

Now for the bad! I don't remember if Aladdin had friends in the movie..It's been awhile since I saw it. If he did awesome! Let me know in the comments below if Aladdin had "friends" in the movie. Let me say the music is awesome! But I kinda dislike hearing a musical number out of no where. There was a scene the Aladdin and his friends were trapped in the dungeon and genie comes out and does a musical number of them escaping. It's not a biggy, but it's a meh. It took me out of the play.

What I learned from this play reminded me not give up on your dreams and keep pushing forward. I tell everyone who read this article review thing, everyone should pursue your dreams no problem no matter what. I recommend seeing the show and see the movie because why not? I give this play a 9/10 for awesome acting, music, scenery and Genuine having his DeadPool moments. If this show comes out of on Blue-Ray, like get that and watch it!! The play is good all time for Disney nerd and theater nerd, I'm LambChops, have a good day!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
