Set

The set for Aladdin consisted of large set pieces, a lot of flying pieces and cloths. The set was mainly flying pieces, with the peking palace scene required 8 bars for the one scene (not including the reveal gauze and black).

Cloths

Cloths that were used for a number of scenes and scene changes were the US cyc, the starcloth used as a full black (and as a starcloth), and a full black for the demon cave.

Four other cloths were used as part of the cave scene; three cut border cloths and one that had a lamp shape ccut out of it, for the actors to enter the cave.

Noodle Box

Demon Cave

Pyramid

Technical Challenges

Genie Trap

Flying Carpet

Kabuki Drop

Glitter Drop

Trap Door

About 5m US, a walk-down trap door was put in place to be used behind the pyramid. During the scene, various characters (and crew) use the trap to enter through the pyramid, and to exit through the pyramid and 'disappear'. The treads were originally made for Dracula, but can be used for a trap door anywhere on the stage.
