I can't remember if I've mentioned here that the group of friends that bought a theater ticket subscription for Hamilton purposes last year decided to sign up again. We've seen three shows in the new season -- Something Rotten, a silly and entertaining comedy about Shakespeare, An American in Paris, based on the movie and involving excellent dancing and horrifying gender politics, and tonight, Aladdin, also based on the movie, yet another in the string of Broadway musicals based on Disney animated films. Although I hadn't seen the stage version before, it's still the media property in this season that I'm most familiar with, so I was looking forward to it, and I was pretty pleased.
