You generally *can't* use Aladdin music for a charitable show without permission.
* Copyright: The music from Aladdin is owned by Disney, and they have strict copyright laws. This means you need their permission to use it publicly, even for a non-profit event.
* Licensing: You can usually obtain a license to use the music. These licenses vary in cost depending on factors like the size of the event, the type of performance, and the duration of the use.
Here's what you can do:
1. Contact Disney: Research their licensing program online or reach out to them directly.
2. Explore alternatives:
* Public Domain Music: Look for music in the public domain (no longer under copyright) that you can use freely.
* Original Music: Commission an original score for your show. This can be a unique and memorable touch.
* Creative Commons Music: There are websites where artists release music under Creative Commons licenses, allowing you to use their music for certain purposes.
* Similar Style: Find music that evokes the same mood or atmosphere as the Aladdin soundtrack but is not copyrighted by Disney.
Remember:
* Check the terms of any licenses carefully. Be sure to understand the restrictions and how long the license will be valid.
* Respect copyright laws. Using copyrighted music without permission can lead to legal issues.
Good luck with your charitable event!
