Watching Aladdin For the First Time Truly Made Me Experience A 'Whole New World'

My first ever musical was an experience of a life time.

Watching Aladdin For the First Time Truly Made Me Experience A 'Whole New World'
Jyoti Kumar

Growing up, "Aladdin" was my favorite Disney movie. Everything in the movie made me fall in love with it and made me believe in magic and made Disney my favorite. Even today, I am always down to watch a Disney movie and am always down for a Disney marathon. That's why, even when now, the thought of watching Aladdin makes me happy and can lift up my spirits instantaneously.

Be it the songs, the friendships or the humor in the movie, everything made me happy.

That's why when I was in London with my family and my father asked me whether I wanted to watch a Disney musical I knew I could not say no and when he asked me to choose between the Lion King and Aladdin my choice was made. (I mean I love Lion king too but Aladdin is my all time favorite)

And the experience was out of this world. It was a magical and charming experience and transported me to "a whole new world"

I had never seen a musical before and had only heard of them so when I knew I was going to watch a live musical I knew it was going to be amazing and was more excited than I could express.

And from the first step into the theatre, I knew this was going to be a night I would never forget

I do not know whether it was the performances, the songs or the sheer fact that I was watching my favorite Disney movie Live (teamed with jet lag, I hardly slept on the flight there), the experience was amazing and something that can never be replaced. I know it was only a Disney musical and is not something as exciting and big as it appears to be for me but that day sitting in that theatre, watching my favorite Disney princess come to life I actually felt magic.

Magic is not something only in books, magic is something that makes us happy, lifts our spirits and makes us feel complete.

For me, magic is something that makes me believe and makes me content.

I felt magic sitting in that seat in the theatre, watching two actors enliven Aladdin and while it may have been my love for Disney, magic, or even the fact that Jasmin is one of the coolest Disney princesses ever. (I mean she has a pet tiger.)

But for me magic was happiness. The happiness of being there with my family and enjoying something that we all truly cherish

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
