- In Aladdin, there are 337 costumes that are worn throughout the musical. Did you know that all the costumes in Aladdin were custom-made by hand? In the Genie’s musical number “Friend Like Me,” there are 1,428 Swarovski crystals on a pair of men’s pants.
- James Monroe Iglehart, who originated the role of the Genie in the stage production, took home the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical. Aladdin was nominated for five Tony Awards in total.
