@MCGoldYoshi Yes but by the time the actors get to stage, they know each other quite well, so kissing is not as weird as you think. These types of shows rehearse for months before the actors get on stage.
Spread the word !!! "To Be Free" is NOT being considered for the new stage version of ALADDIN that Disney is currently developing at The 5th Ave theatre in seattle!! If you want this song to have a chance for life on broadway send an email to "feedback" AT "5thavenue" DOT "org" !! Do it now while it's still in previews! let the producers know what a mistake they are making!! Thanks :)
Fun fact of the day: Unlike most of the other books in the Medieval Muslim book: "The Book of One Thousand and One Nights," "Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp," and a few other stories in the book, where written years after the original book was published. The story was written by John Payne, who was from England, and set in China.
@MsOctoberstorm Have you seen how in the play of Peter Pan they make him fly on wires? Well this is how they would do the carpet. Watch Peter Pan....but the musical and see how they make them fly.
WOW! I love this... I went day before yesterday, and my sister and I watched it twice! Though they didn't have the flying-overhead carpet, so something must have happened with that :(.
@GoofyIndian92 i think it might be dummies that they made look real. I think because it was over the audience's head, they didn't think any1 would be able 2 tell...
why didn't the Jasmine and Aladdin from Disneyland that do the meet and greets..play the characters in the play as well? But they chose another set of actors to play them in the musical..
i remember seeing this when i was like 6 years old! My favorite part was the carpet ride with jasmine(that's all i remember)! But it truely looks magical! I wish i was in a whole new world with aladdin!
So true. Just saw her in "All Shoot Up" where she stretched the limits of the normal human range. Loved her performance especially after seeing her in Aladdin over a year before :)
Just on a side note, search up "Aladdin Recording Session"
Jasmine's voice does sound different during the recording session. Not that im comparing this version with the recording session, i just wanted to share that video with you.
She has They both have such great emotions in their voices.
Jasmine was great, acting wise. I do think she butchered the song just a little bit though... it was still really great but she shoulda stuck with the original melody instead of making some of the notes a little bit longer
I think I understand what you're saying, but I think that's how it's performed. Lots of songs are performed in that style. How many times have you seen this show? Watch more YT clips of this song.
yeah i know exactly what you are saying. but like in general, i think all of the jasmines should sing it normally, like they do in the movie. just a personal opinion though! feel free to disagree
They didn't want her that dark, appearently. They use creme makeup, the color of the character, to define characteristics. It's really cool, but the foundation makes the actor break out like all heck.
it is suspended from the ceiling. There are wires that run from the base of the carpet up to the ceiling. So there is one on each end of the carpet In turn the 4 wires connect into this box and the box runs on a track. The box can spin, turn, tilt, etc... Also you are probably aware the the actors on the carpet are just stunt people. If they were the real people they wouldnt make it down to the stage in time. I probably shouldn't be telling you all these secrets but i know the designers
i enjoyed this scene when aladdin enters. I think the guy who played aladdin and the woman that played jasmine have a very good chemistry together, moreso that others. I felt he was very sincere, and they were able to connect really well together. Their voices also meshed very well together. Great performance =D
@blackveilbridesgirl1 no I meant meashed. lol. What I mean is that they sounds very good together as a duo. Like their voices work well together, the piece. I liked their portrayl of the characters :) lol. was trying to find a better word....but I'll just go with they sound well together as a pair
If they ever re-release Aladdin, they should put this song in the movie after the part where the saltan storms off after talking to Jasmine about the suiters.
idk y why but i think i saw the girl who played jasmine in wicked. her voice reminds me of a girl who played elphaba when i last saw wicked out in los angeles. i wonder...
i dunno :O but you can tll because like they look different and wid the magic carpet at the end you can see them going down the stairs while the other pair are on the stage............ phew
it doesnt hurt to record something funny and besides it not removed now is it and yes u not suppose to record it i record stuff that u not suppose to and i do it as long as i don get caught
WHat you talking about Disneyland/CA adventure lets you record everything. Why because you paid alot to get in. They even state that you can record it, but no Flash or video lighting please! Check out my DIsneyland video Montage in HD i recorded it too. :)
There's pretty much several actors/actresses for every part in this production. I believe Disney is holding another audition session coming up for this show.
