When you get to your seat you can sit down

and relax.

An usher will look at your tickets and tell you where

your seats are.

The numbers on the tickets tell everyone where to sit.

It is not a choice.

When the show starts, you will hear an actor start to talk and

sing, he will begin telling you the story of Aladdin. Other actors will

join him to sing and dance.

It will be very loud, but not for long, so don’t worry.

You could cover your ears or wear some headphones.

When it is time for the show to start you will hear a voice asking everyone to turn off their mobile

phones. The theatre will get darker and everyone will be quiet.

You will need to be as quiet as you can during the show so that you

can hear everything.

Aladdin is a special kind of show called a musical - it isn’t a cartoon. The characters in the show are played by actors. They tell the story

by talking, singing and dancing.

There are lots of dancers and beautiful costumes in the show. There will be lots of dancing, and sparkling costumes.

After each song, some people will clap. Clapping is nice because it tells the actors you liked their song. If you want to clap, you can.

You don’t have to clap if you don’t want to.

In the middle of the show, there is a break. This break

is called an interval.

During the interval you can use the toilet and have

a drink or a snack.

After the interval, everyone will come back and sit down in their seats again. It will get dark and quiet again just like at the start

of the show. The actors will come back on the stage and finish telling the story of Aladdin.

At the end of the show, all of the actors will come out on stage. This is called a curtain call. Many people will clap a lot so

the actors know how much they liked the show. They may also stand up to show they liked the show.
