Sensitive ears? Bring earplugs to Aladdin

[kurte]

The live Aladdin show was very good. But like many live shows, it was far louder than it should be. My ears were almost ringing afterwards. The voice amplification was ok, but the prerecorded music was blasting much of the time, drowning out the vocals.

I am planning to see it during our trip early June. I hear that the theatre is quite big. Where were you sitting in relation to the stage? Are there best seats or does every seat get a relatively good view?

We sat almost near the back to the right of the stage and still had a great view, also no problems with sound. Really enjoyed the show, the genie is brilliant!

We just went to the show and sat in what appears to be "box seats" up above. We were disappointed when we got there to think that we were going to have to sit toward the back of the upper level but then we realized there were about 7 seats open on each side that no one was sitting in so we headed down to them and loved our seats! It's just one row of seats on each side of that upper level. The magic carpet flew right up next to us with the prince and princess several times. My sisters' family went the next day and they too snagged those seats and thought they were great! But, like other posters have said, nearly any seat should be good there. Oh, and my worn out two year old fell asleep half way through the show and the music didn't even wake her so we didn't think the noise level was too bad.

I sat near the front of balcony level. I had good views of the carpet ride and Aladdin's prince entry.

There is not a bad seat in the house...my kids LOVE the show and we've seen it many times! We always like the floor seats as we can interact w/the stuff that comes out into the audience. Noise levels have never been a problem for us. ENJOY!

Although I've never been to the show, the term "there is not a bad seat in the house" is impossible. Any type of presentation, be it live or recorded, will only have a small area (relative to the viewing area) that can be considered perfect seatings and the rest are only compromises. This is purely based on the physics of psychoacoustic.

I have a girlfriend who has seen the show over 700 times and I've seen over 100 times as it is a fabulous show. In my opinion - the best seats in the house are:

The first row directly behind wheelchair seating. That would be the front row of the back section on the orchestra level. You've got a fabulous view of the stage, no one in front of you for approximately 10 feet, the parade goes directly in front of you and you've got a great view of the carpet when it flies. I met Roy Disney when he sat here, and didn't meet Michael Eisner when he sat there. (Different shows of course). If it is good enough for them, it must be good enough for the rest of us.

Another great location is the front row on the mezzanine level. This is the best area for a view of the carpet when it flies.

I consider the front row of the theatre only so-so, as you miss the carpet flying, you are looking up the side of an elephant when the parade goes by and you're eyes are right at stage level. However, this is where everyone with priority seating goes - they always think front is best, not necessarily for this production.
