Balls will be exhibited until December 26th.

"Aladdin"

Inspired by the iconic scene in which Aladdin discovers the magic lamp for the first time.

“A genie emerges from a magic lamp, offering our hero three wishes and a whole new world of possibilities,” the press release reads.

"The Lion King"

No scene captures the character and atmosphere of The Lion King better than Circle of Life. This is when Rafiki introduces his future king to the kingdom, with the sun rising in the background. Rafiki himself is depicted as a wax figure, as the ball was created by Madame Tussauds. And the birds and giraffes that surround it are mini copies of those that appear in the Broadway show.

"Evil"

This ball includes views of the Land of Oz. And two witches in gorgeous costumes from the Tony Award-winning musical.
