Join Jasmine, Jafar, Jeannie, and “Al” in the Disney musical “Aladdin, Jr.!” this Thursday and Friday,  March 30 & 31, 7p.m. in Hillside Auditorium.  The lavish production showcases the theatrical talent of more than 60 kids, third, fourth and fifth graders, in opulent, exotic costumes singing and dancing to familiar tunes. At Monday's dress rehearsal, we were blown away by the stage presence, cutting delivery of comic lines, and the ability of all those mini thespians to keep it together on stage for an hour and a half!  A few lucky actors even get to ride a flying carpet (don't try this at home). 54 Orange Road, Montclair.  973-509-4200.  Free.
