Disney’s Aladdin Jr
Starlight Stage Productions presented the Irish Premiere of Disney’s Aladdin Jr at the Watergate Theatre, Kilkenny from 25th - 28th of October 2006. The show directed and choreographed by Jason Paul Ryan and assisted by Sharon Molloy was Starlight’s fourth musical in Kilkenny in just over two years following on from The Wizard Of Oz, Annie Jr and Joseph. The talented cast and chorus featured students from all of Starlight’s classes in Kilkenny and Carlow for the first time together onstage at the Watergate. The brand new Disney musical based on the multi award winning film was a great crowd pleaser with both young and old enjoying the story and music.
The cast included Jamie O’Brien as Aladdin, Angela Langton as Jasmine, Orie Farrell as Jafar, Lee Geoghan as Iago, Nicole Lambert as Genie, Olivia O’Neill as Sultan, Hazel Tully as Razoul, Megan Hahessy Madigan as Kolo, and the Narrators were Sinead Brennan, Tara King, Aisling Murphy, Laura Connolly and Laura Doyle. Set Design was by Andrew Small, Set Construction by Declan Cooke, Lighting Design by Gerry Taylor and Sound by Temple Audio Systems.
The show was a complete sell out for the four shows and one and all agreed it was an outstanding production. The colour and energy that leapt from the stage from the opening scene to the finale was truly wonderful. Well done to one and all on another fabulous Starlight show!
