DISCOVER A WHOLE NEW WORLD

                                              WHEN DISNEY’S ALADDIN

                                          THE HIT BROADWAY MUSICAL

                                          COMES TO BROWARD CENTER

           Aladdin is a Broadway musical based on the 1992 Disney animated film of the same name. Also, with a book by Chad Beguelin, music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman for the film but not used, and adding four songs written by Menken and Beguelin.   

          Set in the fictional middle-eastern city of Agrabah, the story follows the familiar tale of a poor young man who is granted three wishes by a genie in a lamp, which he uses to woo a princess, and to thwart the sultan’s evil Grand Vizier. 

         Aladdin is one of the misfits on the streets of this city, stealing food trying to survive. When his mother dies, he decides to put an end to worthless vagrant living and gives himself a covenant never to steal and generally prove to the world that he is worth something.

        As it turns out, soon it becomes possible, because Jafar, Grand Vizier of the city, in an attempt to fight for the throne, wants to get into some kind of mysterious cave.  There, he will find a lot of knowledge, but to get there he must be able to find Aladdin and use his help.  The grotto cave opens only to him, as he is like a "Diamond In The Rough."

         The musical premiered on Broadway February 26, 2014, in previews and opened on March 20, 2014, at the New Amsterdam Theatre, taking the place of Mary Poppins. The show was nominated for five Tony Awards, winning one for Best Performance by a featured actor in a musical for James Monroe Iglehart. The cast album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album.

                                         “WE’VE ONLY JUST BEGUN”

                                     BRINGS BACK FOND MEMORIES

                                           OF THE  SIBLINGS DUO

                                 KAREN AND RICHARD CARPENTER

 
           The Carpenters were an American vocal and instrumental duo during 1950-1953. They produced a distinct soft musical style, combing Karen’s contralto vocals with Richard’s arranging and composition skills. During their 14-year career, The Carpenters recorded ten albums, along with numerous singles and several television specials.

           The siblings were born in New Haven, Connecticut, and moved to Downey, California, in 1963. Richard took piano lessons as a child, and went on to California State University, while Karen learned the drums.

          They first performed together as a duo in 1965 and formed the jazz-oriented Richard Carpenter Trio followed by the middle-of-the-road Spectrum. They signed as The Carpenters to A & M Records in 1969, and achieved major success the following year with the hit singles “Close To You,”and “We’ve Only Just Begun.” The duo’s brand of melodic pop produced a record-breaking run of hit recordings on the American Top 40 and Adult Contemporary charts, and they became  leading sellers in soft rock.

         The Carpenters had three number-one singles and five number-two singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and fifteen number-one hits on the Adult Contemporary Chart. They sold more than 100 million records worldwide. In 1979 both suffered health problems ending their careers.
