- Set in ancient China, Aladdin used artful Chinese theatre techniques to sing and dance the familiar tale of a poor boy, a beautiful princess and a very large genie in a very tiny lamp. Based on the classic Arabian Nights story re-popularized by the recent animated film, this Aladdin does Disney better by featuring not one, but two magic genies!

Thank so much to share 🥰
Can't believe I found the full production! I saw this when I was a kid way back in '67. from that day to this I always found myself singing TEA TIME and UP, UP HIGH. Wonderful songs!
This is the magic of CZcams. You just come across long-forgotten or never-heard-of entertainment and wonder where it's been all your life. Even Cole Porter didn't think to rhyme Aladdin with bad'un.
The scene at 46:25 I remember seeing when I was barely four years old on public access TV. I never forgot that song "Tea Time" and can't believe I found this video.
I remember watching this when I was little.
I remember this TV special. Wonderful childhood memories!
I remember this, thought it was a fever dream. I remember the genie asking for audience participation and the Tea Time song. Wasn't there a Peter Pan show that was similar?
Yes!
There were three other Prince Street Players productions that were broadcast on CBS back in the 60's
Pinocchio
Jack In The Beanstalk
The Emperor's New Clothes.
As for this production; the cast was plagued by a nasty flu bug. When Will B. Able filmed the genie dance he had a temperature of 103. He had to do the genie dance 3 times; not because he was ill, but for technical reasons. He was perfect in each one.
