Before getting captured, Aladdin tricks Jafar into wishing to become a genie. Jafar also reveals that Prince Ali has merely been Aladdin in disguise ('Prince Ali – Reprise 1') and orders his arrest ('Prince Ali – Reprise 2'). With his first two wishes, he becomes Sultan of Agrabah and a powerful sorcerer. However, Jafar and Iago deviously steal the magic lamp and Jafar becomes Genie's new boss. Jasmine remains unimpressed, so Aladdin decides to be himself and speak from the heart while taking her on a magic carpet ride ('A Whole New World'). For his first two, Aladdin wishes to get out of the cave and to become a prince so he can see Jasmine again.Īladdin - as Prince Ali - and his entourage make a grand entrance at the palace ('Prince Ali'). Genie explains that Aladdin can make three wishes. When he rubs the lamp, a magical Genie appears with his magic carpet, Avis ('Friend Like Me'). Jafar tricks Aladdin into entering the cave to retrieve the lamp, but Aladdin gets trapped inside.

They are both caught by the Guards ('One Jump Ahead – Reprise'), and Aladdin is thrown into a Skeleton-filled dungeon ('Dungeon Ditty'). He bumps into Jasmine in disguise, who has run away from the palace. Meanwhile, in the marketplace, Aladdin weaves through vendors, Beggars, and other citizens of Agrabah trying to avoid getting caught for stealing a loaf of bread ('One Jump Ahead'). But the Cave Guardian denies him only Aladdin, the Diamond in the Rough, may enter. Jafar, eager to claim the throne, goes to the Cave of Wonders to seek the magic lamp ('Arabian Nights – Part 2'). Jasmine sends them away, and Jafar reminds her that if she doesn't choose a husband, she will have to marry him. Jafar, the scheming Royal Vizier, and Iago, his parrot sidekick, welcome Prince Abdullah, Prince Hassim, and Prince Malik, who are interested in Jasmine's hand in marriage. Jasmine, Princess of Agrabah, argues with the Sultan over the ancient law requiring that she marry a prince immediately.

A Lamp Vendor appears in a marketplace conjured by Djinn, theatrical 'spirits of the lamp.' A group of Agrabahns help him introduce the city of Agrabah ('Arabian Nights – Part 1') and the story of a dusty old lamp that changed a young man's life:
