Not only did the event bring on stage stars Will Smith, Mena Massoud, Naomi Scott ,Nasim Pedrad, Navid Negahban, director Guy Ritchie and Production Designer Gemma Jackson, but it featured a very special performance by eight-time Academy Award-winning composer Alan Menken. You can watch the whole thing in the player below!
Aladdin is directed by Ritchie from a screenplay by John August (“Dark Shadows,” “Big Fish”), based on the 1992 animated film “Aladdin,” in turn based on stories from “One Thousand and One Nights.”
Dan Lin (“The LEGO Movie”) produces “Aladdin” with Marc Platt (“La La Land”), Jonathan Eirich (“Death Note”) and Kevin De La Noy (“The Dark Knight Rises”) serving as executive producers.
