Every rehearsal is bringing us one step closer to opening night, and we're incredibly proud of the hard work, commitment and enthusiasm being shown by our cast.

From learning choreography and perfecting harmonies to developing characters and building confidence on stage, there's a huge amount of work happening to create the magic of Disney's Aladdin Jr.

Here are a few moments captured from recent rehearsals as our talented Juniors continue to prepare for audiences to arrive in Agrabah.
