[3][4] Sherrezade introduces the audience to a Magic Kingdom (an analogue of The Walt Disney Company) that prospered for many years thanks to its commitment to "the two Ds: duty and devotion".

Ja'far returns to the palace but is greeted by Achmed; the ruler of the Kingdom of Pik-Zahr, angered by the Princess setting her pet tiger upon him.

His mood is lifted when he meets the palace storyteller Sherrezade, who tells him stories including the Tiger Head Cave, which among other riches contains an oil lamp housing a wish-granting Djinn.

The Sultan, a babbling fool who tells the court he inverted his penis, is immediately taken with Sherrezade and claims her as his concubine.

Though not fully convinced of the power of magic, Ja'far decides to seek out the Tiger Head Cave and the wish-granting Djinn ("If I Believed").

Meanwhile, the Princess meets Aladdin and is entranced by his free lifestyle and lack of respect for royalty, oblivious to his sexual advances.

Aladdin explains how he never had a chance to become a valuable member of society since his parents died earlier in the year ("Orphaned at Thirty-Three").

Believing that destroying the Princess' kingdom will win her affection, he and his soldiers march to war ("No One Remembers Achmed").

Ja'far tries to warn her about Aladdin's true intentions but is called away when The Captain tells them that an unknown wealthy prince is leading a parade through the market, causing untold mayhem and injury.

He releases the Djinn, who speaks entirely in movie quotes, incomprehensible to Ja'far, and uses his second wish to make himself a powerful sorcerer.

Aladdin reveals a darker, more sinister split-personality who murdered his parents when they attempted to force him out of their house to find a job.

News arrives that the Sultan has died, naming the Princess the majority stockholder and sole ruler of the Kingdom.

Achmed's troops arrive in the throne room, and the Princess buys the entirety of Pik-Zahr with Ali Baba's treasure, discovered during the battle.

In the lamp, Ja'far has resigned himself to his fate before suddenly being greeted by Sherrezade, brought back to life by the Princess's last wish.

Ja'far sees that Aladdin will become a Peddler who spends his days telling a warped version of the story, until his ironic death at the hands of a thief over a loaf of bread at the age of 55.

The official video of the original production ends with a faux-pop remix of "A Thousand and One Nights" performed by StarKid contributors Carlos Valdes and Britney Coleman.

[11] The album was produced by Andrew Fox, Michael Hart, and Stacks of Wax Productions, and featured Andrea Ross, Britney Coleman, Carlos Valdes, and Cluster.
