HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (TENNESSEE VALLEY LIVING) - Shining, shimmering, splendid... that’s how we feel about Disney’s Aladdin the Musical.

The Broadway Tour is flying into Huntsville for eight magical shows at the Von Braun Center now through March 5. TVL is getting all the details behind the magic with the cast and crew of the show.

Adi Roy is only 22-years-old, but he’s already landed the lead role in a national Broadway tour. Roy plays Aladdin on the North American Tour, but it’s not his first time taking the stage as this role.
