His love for sweet, innocent Mabel and his devotion to his pirate family leave this poor "Slave of Duty" split right down the middle!

Disney first produced this lavish epic of ancient Egypt, a classic tale of forbidden love told as only pop music legend Elton John and Tim Rice (Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat) can. Aida, a wise and beautiful Nubian princess, is captured by the mighty, passionate Egyptian captain Radames, who falls in love with her. Yet he can only be with her if he gives her as a handmaiden to the princess he must marry.  Giuseppe Verdi's masterwork is boldly reincarnated into a new extravagant feast for all the senses.

    Please prepare your group for being courteous audience members. Remind students that they are seeing a live production with real actors. Movement and voices in the audience can distract the performers, and other audience members. Since theatre is not like a video that can rewind and playback, audience members must be free from distractions in order to understand all parts of the story. Patrons are, of course, encouraged to laugh when they find it funny and clap at the end of the play to show the actors they enjoyed the performance and appreciate the actors' efforts.

    Make sure your group is aware that theatre etiquette includes absolutely no eating, drinking, and gum chewing in the theatre. These regulations exist both to respect the theatre space and to reduce distractions to the other patrons. Of course, theatre etiquette also includes turning watches, pagers, and cell phones to silent; photographic and recording devices are strictly prohibited.
