"Aladdin" has been lighting up Broadway for more than a decade, but the real magic happens offstage.

News 12's Joel Crump takes us inside to show how the show comes to life! Inside the New Amsterdam Theatre, nearly 180 crew members keep the show running like clockwork.

He also shines a light on the details you’d never notice from your seat: more than 200 costumes and props that are carefully crafted and reused night after night.

From dulled swords to hand-painted “food,” everything is designed for speed, safety, and consistency—proof that the magic of Agrabah is just as impressive behind the curtain as it is under the spotlight
