Get ready for a magical ride.

Christian Family Theater will open Disney’s “Aladdin Jr.” on Friday, Oct. 25, for three performances this weekend at Brainerd United Methodist Church.

Aladdin, Jasmine and the fast-talking, wisecracking Genie will open a “Whole New World” to their audiences as they discover mystical caves, take magic carpet rides and outwit evil sorcerer Jafar.

Adapted especially for young performers, this musical includes favorite Alan Menken songs such as “Friend Like Me,” “A Whole New World” and “Prince Ali,” as well as new songs added for the Broadway production.
