Now imagine the show - performed by a real husband and wife - in Spanish - and you have Los Últimos Cinco Años, the Direct-from- Bogotá, Colombia production running tonight and tomorrow at Mad Cow Theatre, produced by Showlink Theatricals.

Aladdin is a timeless tale about a poor boy who meets a princess and falls in love. Toss in a magic lamp with a genie, an evil vizier, snakes, trolls, and bats - and do the whole thing as a ballet - and you just might have something.
