Chicago's Broadway running time, intermission length, age guidance and an estimated end time.

Broadway Guides
According to Broadway.com and New York Theatre Guide, Aladdin runs 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one intermission. Both sources recommend the show for ages 6 and up. We suggest checking the official schedule for your performance before you go.
Checked October 2026 against Broadway.com and New York Theatre Guide.
Broadway.com gives Aladdin's run time as "2 hours and 30 minutes, including one intermission." New York Theatre Guide reports the identical total: "Aladdin runs 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one intermission." Broadway.com does not give the intermission's length. Broadway.com's separate Broadway Run Times guide lists the same figures, last updated October 22, 2026. The running-time guide lists other shows' running times.
Our estimate, not an official rule: add Aladdin's 2 hour 30 minute running time to its curtain time. An evening show starting at 7:00 p.m. would let out around 9:30 p.m.; one starting at 8:00 p.m. would run to about 10:30 p.m. A 2:00 p.m. matinee would end near 4:30 p.m. Treat these as examples, not a published schedule, since a late curtain or long ovation can shift the real end time. For typical Broadway curtain times, see what time Broadway shows start.
Broadway.com recommends Aladdin "for ages 6 and up," and states that "all guests must have a ticket, regardless of age." New York Theatre Guide gives the same recommendation: "The recommended age for Aladdin is Ages 6+." We suggest thinking about a child's attention span for a show this length, on top of the official age guidance above.
Broadway.com notes that latecomers are seated at the discretion of management. The show plays at the New Amsterdam Theatre, 214 West 42nd St., New York, NY 10036, per Broadway.com.
