By far, the best live Broadway-style show in a theme park. From the improv of the genie, to the "world class menagerie" of Prince Ali, to the musical numbers, this show has it all for not being an actual Off-Broadway show. Great fun for all, but some of the pop culture references may be lost to some. - Brandon Mendoza

The best live show in any theme park. This show is Broadway quality and worth the price of a 1 day park admission ticket. The music is great and so is the staging but, the genie steals the show. 11/10 - Will Chilcote

This is a show that I would pay 30-40 dollars to see outside of disneyland, and it's free with park admission! Excellent show! Don't miss if you have never seen it before! - Jay Finch

awesome. fun. funny. =) The musical parts are cool, the stunts are REALLY cheesy, but its alright. and the genie cracks me up. he makes me feel like I'm watching Bill & Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure. - Lucas Lee

Terrible! The genie thought he was so funny making so many out-of-character comments, such as references to Miley Cyrus, but it wasn't funny at all. It was very immature and unprofessional. Very disappointing. If they changed the script to stick more to the story, it would probably be very good. - Miranda Hopkins

This show was incredible! We went in not really expecting much and came out from watching a broadway level type show...we went to broadway after this and the quality, stagemanship, sets and performances of this show held up against the real thing incredibly! - Rachelle Beaney

Great and funny show! It's so enjoyable that it doesn't feel like 45 minutes. Glad to hear they're keeping it. - Erik Avila
