" The &amp;quot;global&amp;quot; trend is taking over fashion runways near and far, aptly, and creating, shall we say, a whole new world. But this spring one can find a charming display of this movement a little closer to home\u2014one needs only go to 42nd Street and to see this style take lyrical shape in Disney&amp;#039;s Aladdin, now open on Broadway. Equal parts Michael Jackson&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Do You Remember The Time?&amp;quot; music video and a Bollywood dance number, the musical is not merely a replay of the popular &amp;#039;90s film. While the production is light on dramatics and possibly gives more sparkle than any Kinky Boot, mere child&amp;#039;s play this show is not. The script has been updated to reflect a more modern time through clever dialogue (think Oprah jokes and a slightly more flamboyant Genie [James Monroe Iglehart]), and the costuming spearheaded by Gregg Barnes could easily hold its own in any current September issue. It is, to quote, a magic carpet ride. Aladdin is truly a ride that is whole-family-friendly. As we know, Aladdin notoriously gets three wishes from Genie\u2014but by the end of the night, the audience is begging for a fourth: that the show won&amp;#039;t end. Catch it while you can. Aladdin is open now at the New Amsterdam Theater. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
