 nAladdin: In brief\n\nDisney unveils its latest cartoon-to-musical project
 : the tale of a boy\, an uncorked spirit and an aerodynamic rug. Composer 
 Alan Menken adds new tunes to the 1992 original soundtrack\, and Chad Begu
 elin provides a fresh book. Reputed highlights include James Monroe Igleha
 rt's bouncy Genie and the flying-carpet F/X.\n\nAladdin: Theater review by
  Adam Feldman\n\nWhat do we wish for in a Disney musical? It is unrealisti
 c to expect aesthetic triumph on par with The Lion King\, but neither need
  we settle for blobs of empty action like Tarzan or The Little Mermaid. Th
 e latest in the toon-tuner line\, Aladdin\, falls between those poles\; ne
 arer in style (though inferior in stakes) to Disney’s first effort\, Bea
 uty and the Beast\, the show is a tricked-out\, tourist-family-friendly th
 eme-park attraction\, decorated this time in the billowing fabrics of orie
 ntalist Arabian fantasy. “It’s barbaric\, but hey\, it’s home\,” s
 ings the genial Genie (a game\, charismatic Iglehart) in the opening song\
 , and that’s the tone of Aladdin as a whole: kid-Oriented.\n\nAs in the 
 1992 film\, the Genie steals the show from its eponymous “street rat” 
 hero (Jacobs\, white teeth and tan chest agleam). The musical’s high poi
 nt is the hard-sell “Friend Like Me\,” in which the fourth-wall-breaki
 ng spirit summons wave upon wave of razzle-dazzle to demonstrate the scope
  of his power. (The number matches the rococo cornucopia of the New Amster
 dam Theatre.) Granted three wishes for freeing the Genie from a lamp\, Ala
 ddin uses the first to become the extravagant Prince Ali\, a potentate wor
 thy of the Sultan’s spunky daughter\, Jasmine (Reed)\; later he takes he
 r for a ride on a flying carpet that more closely resembles a flying Craft
 matic adjustable bed.\n\nAside from the tonic of Iglehart’s djinn\, howe
 ver\, Aladdin is short on magic. Director Casey Nicholaw fills the stage w
 ith activity\, and Jonathan Freeman and Don Darryl Rivera offer ripe turns
  as a villainous vizier and his squawking sidekick. But the plotting drift
 s into weightless silliness\, with a surfeit of generic padding and glitz.
  There’s the rub: The musical is called Aladdin\, but seems content to b
 e Prince Ali.—Theater review by Adam Feldman\n\nTHE BOTTOM LINE A carpet
  with colorful patterns but little texture.
