Aladdin show times

[Skimassey]

If there are 4 show times for Aladdin, 12:40, 2:20, 4:45, and 6:20, which times are typically more crowded? I was thinking it would be nice to take a break and see either the 2:20 or 4:45 show, but if that's what everyone else does, I'd prefer a different time so that we don't have to arrive too early to secure a good seat.

Thanks!

I've been to the 12:40 and 4:45, they were both completely packed. I don't think there's a slow show.

Yeah, it seems most showings are pretty crowded, but it's virtually impossible to get a bad seat in there, it's so huge. I wouldn't worry about finding a good seat.

Since they are all going to be crowded, but the venue is large enough to accommodate a large crowd, how early do we need to show up to get in line for a show?

If you show up 30 minutes before the show starts, you'll be fine. There may look like a lot of people, but as was said before, the capacity is huge and tons of people show up at the very last minute.

Also we were told that the last show of the day tends to be slightly less crowded.

One last caution -- we tried to go to the first show of the day (this was in August) and when we got there we were turned away because of "technical difficulties" -- they cancelled the first show altogether. I guess the point is to have a back-up plan just in case. We returned for the last show and it was awesome. We got there 30 minutes before the show started and were in the front row of the middle section, which was perfect.

Enjoy - we've seen the show at least 5 times and it never gets old.

We have always just showed up as people were already entering the theater and as others have said there were a lot of people but we have always got a good seat. I think all seats are good as we have sat in different areas each time & each seat was good.

What time is the time that people start entering? Is it 15 minutes before? Or less? We would like to see the show but don't care that much about where we sit. Can we get there about 10-15 minutes before and still get in and get a seat? Do the shows ever "sell-out" and you can't get in?

Thanks!

Thanks!

I'm sure it has completely sold out before, but sections "sellout" every time from my experience. The balcony (3rd level) seems to be the only one which doesn't.

I've seen the show 5 or 6 times over the last year, and I never arrive more than 10 or 15 minutes before the doors open. Yes, it can be quite crowded, but having sat on every level now, I've never had a bad seat. I wouldn't worry so much about arriving too early!

I'm not sure if they sell out. Ive never not gotten a seat & have never planned on going to the show but once & have always gotten a seat & we mostly go during summer which is a busy time of year so, I wouldn't worry about it so much. The theater can hold a lot of people. And I think if you got there 10 or 15 minutes before the show you would get a seat.

When I went last year, the first three shows were canceled. Only the last one was performed.

It's best not to sit too close. There is some flying activity over the audience, and you'll miss it if you sit in the front part of the lower section.

I've never seen Aladdin before and I'm very keen to cross it off my list this time around!

What to people find is a good time to go, not so much for crowds, but just in terms of breaking up their day?

 

[cmpeter]

2:20 is good for breaking up your day. We just saw it on Wed and caught the 6:20 show though.

 

[shelemm]

Given my experience, above, I would just go for the final show. I and another poster have had early shows canceled on us. Despite the fact we were told it was technical difficulties, I also have the feeling that a light crowd may have contributed. People tend not to go early, which would be great time to go... if they never canceled.

We went to the Aladdin show on Saturday & showed up 5 minutes before the show time & had a choice of either balcany or floor seats. Im pretty sure the filled up the entire place but again we got great seats
