Disney in talks to bring Aladdin to the London Palladium in 2016 [caption id="" align="alignright" width="140"] Aladdin - may be heading to London[/caption] Thomas Schumacher, head of Disney Theatrical Productions, is in talks with Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Theatres about securing the London Palladium for Disney's Aladdin. The show is proving a big hit on Broadway - and James Monroe Iglehart scooped a Tony Award this month for Best performance by an actor in a featured role in a musical for playing the Genie.
