Aladdin is the main antagonist in the musical Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier. He is portrayed by Jeff Blim. In contrast to the Aladdin portrayed in the Disney film of the same name, this Aladdin is self-centered and does not seem to be concerned with other people's issues. He also appears to hold no remorse for his actions, for instance stealing an orphan's crutch for no reason other than his own amusement. However, he has another personality which may be controlling him when he is doing evil actions - so the question of whether he is truly evil remains unanswered.
Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier[]
Act I[]
Aladdin is first mentioned by the Captain of the Royal Guard as he tells Ja'far about his morning. The Captain refers to Aladdin as a 'devil' and shows clear hatred towards the thief. According to the Captain, that morning Aladdin stole a loaf of bread, inadvertently causing the death of several people, (tragically) including Abdul. He also threw a whip at Prince Achmed's face and said that he had "never seen a horse with two rear ends", which infuriated Achmed.
Aladdin first appears in the marketplace along with Monkey as he sings I Steal Everything, in which the audience is introduced to Aladdin's character and his self-centered world-view. In this song, it is also implied that Aladdin sleeps around, and it is once again made clear that he doesn't really care for anyone except himself when he forgets the name of the girl he made pregnant.
Later, Aladdin 'saves' Princess from a merchant in the marketplace after she takes apples from their stand, unaware that she's stealing, and brings her to his apartment with the intention of sleeping with her. It is also revealed here that Aladdin is double the age of Princess and still has no qualms about sleeping with her. In an attempt to win Princess over, Aladdin sings Orphaned at 33, sharing his 'tragic' backstory. Princess is touched by this devastating number and asks Aladdin if he believes in love at first sight, but they are interrupted by the palace guards, who apprehend Aladdin and explain that Ja'far has ordered them to have him beheaded.
When Ja'far finally gets the missing piece of the golden scarab, he lets Aladdin out of jail under the condition that Aladdin will go to the Tiger Head Cave and retrieve the lamp containing the Djinn. Aladdin gleefully accepts when Ja'far promises the rest of the treasure will go to him. To no one's surprise, Aladdin also reveals that he doesn't love Princess, he only wants to sleep with her. Ja'far sends Aladdin on his way, and Princess, Ja'far and Aladdin sing Happy Ending, in which each of them detail what they wish for most in life. Aladdin sings about being simply wanting to sleep with Princess, while she, still under the impression that he has pure intentions, sings about a happy ending with Aladdin. When the song ends, Aladdin tells Ja'far that he met the Djinn and steals the magic lamp.
Act II[]
In Act 2, the first we see of Aladdin is in Act 2 Scene 4 - although Ja'far warns the Princess before this about Aladdin and how dangerous he actually is. It is revealed that, like in the movie, Aladdin used up his first wish to become a prince. However, unlike in the movie, Aladdin has very different intentions with this - instead of becoming a prince to be allowed to marry the Princess and look good, he merely uses this to look good and seduce the Princess. This is especially revealed when Aladdin tells the Djinn that he doesn't want the Princess to fall in love with him - he merely wants to fuck her. After this, Aladdin sings the villain song of the play - Take Off Your Clothes - where Aladdin attempts to seduce the Princess and rape her by talking subliminally' and manipulating her. She marries him after this which he only accepts to get laid. He then manipulates her some more to keep her trusting him.
In Act 2 Scene 6, Aladdin manipulates the Sultan and the guards into thinking Ja'far is a sorcerer - leading the Sultan to order the guards to chase after Ja'far with Ja'far's potential punishment being beheading. However, this scene also has a big turning point in the musical where it is revealed that Aladdin no longer has the lamp. His last wish was going to be to bring the 'sorcerer' Ja'far back to the Sultan - or to have a bigger dick - but instead it is revealed in the next scene that Ja'far now has the lamp.
In Act 2 Scene 8, it is revealed that Aladdin has lied about being the most powerful Prince with the most powerful army in the world. But, when the Princess asks for his aid, he is not there and is revealed to be preparing to run away in fear of Prince Achmed in the next scene. In this next scene, it is revealed that he is prepared to abandon his pet monkey, the Princess and the Kingdom. When it is revealed by the Princess that they are likely all going to die, the last thing Aladdin wants to do before he dies is have sex with the Princess. The Princess rejects his advances and he runs with her.
In Act 2 Scene 10, he is trying to seduce the Princess even more, continually, to a point where no doesn't mean no to him. When Ja'far confronts him after this, he states 'I take what I want', and holds the Princess with a knife at her neck, threatening Ja'far saying that if he moves an inch then the Princess will get it. He states his intention to kidnap the Princess before incorrectly calling Ja'far a pedophile. This is the point in the musical where Aladdin's character goes from comical and stupid to truly evil and the true villain of this story. But, while remembering his parents, he reveals a Green Goblin like personality alongside his regular personality - which throws the entirety of his character into question. Was Aladdin truly evil or was it this personality taking over whenever he did crimes like steal or holding the Princess hostage? It is revealed though that this personality killed his parents - and then this personality manipulates Aladdin into thinking his parents 'had to die'. Aladdin ends up thanking him for killing his parents and he lets this personality take over. This personality then threatens Ja'far for the lamp, tosses the Princess to Ja'far for the lamp. Aladdin warns Ja'far that this personality 'will kill him' - perhaps suggesting that the villainous side of Aladdin is all in this personality while the normal Aladdin is not actually evil. Right before Aladdin can use the lamp, however, Ja'far wishes for the Djinn's freedom and that he can become a Djinn. Aladdin therefore can't use the lamp because the Djinn is no longer inside it to grant him his last wish. Aladdin then sees Ja'far as a Djinn and terrifyingly runs away. This is the last time we see Aladdin in this play until the very end. This is the most significant scene in the entire play - especially for Aladdin - and if you rewatch the play you can hear the other personality various times throughout the play. Jeff Blimm's acting in this scene does this scene justice and is often praised by viewers. This scene brings up the question of whether Aladdin is truly evil or not.
In the ending of the musical, Act 2 Scene 13, Ja'far wishes to see what Aladdin became. It is revealed Aladdin became fat and grew a moustache. He is revealed to be the merchant at the start of the actual movie 'Aladdin' - revealing that Aladdin actually lied about the story in the Disney film to all the audience who watched that film. He is selling second hand goods - and still has the lamp from Act 2 Scene 10. He tells this false story to visitors until he is 55 - when he is killed by a thief over a loaf of bread, karma for the murder he caused at the beginning of the play over a loaf of bread. Aladdin is hailed as a hero to many - while Ja'far is hailed as an evil villain. But, this couldn't be further from the truth. Aladdin does sing in the final song A Thousand And One Nights (Reprise) but this is just the whole cast coming together and likely isn't actually Aladdin.
