Why is this thread being brought back after three years? Rav, I was thinking the same.

Aladdin would've been a much better choice for a stage adaptation than Tarzan and The Little Mermaid, IMO.

Question for Future Aladdin: What are you going to do after you play Aladdin? Because, to paraphrase Tennessee Williams: "The future becomes the present, which becomes the past, which becomes regret..."
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

I'd be more curious to see the original version of Aladdin that Menken & Ashman wrote adapted to the stage. The song placement as well as the tunes themselves are far more appropriate for a stage than the final film products IMO.
Amen!
Of course, Disney would NEVER do that though..
Sad but true.
I'm sure they could do the set, but I'm not a big fan of shows that suck without big effect that cost a billion dollars. I prefer good shows that can use effects but also be done at Joe Schmoe Community Theatre with some inventive staging. And I think Disney will most likely produce the first. It's not a bad idea for a stage show, probably better with the original drafts. I'm all for more stage shows with Asheman's work (Rosewater anyone?).I'd just rather someone OTHER than Disney would do it, which, is, of course, impossible. (Cue R&H song).

I have several names, one is Julian2. I am also The Opps Girl. But cross me, and I become Bitch Dooku!

"Question for Future Aladdin: What are you going to do after you play Aladdin? Because, to paraphrase Tennessee Williams: "The future becomes the present, which becomes the past, which becomes regret..."" Look for another job, it's a never-ending search

And then you'll have to change your screen name.

Egad, it's the night of the living thread.
In this and the other Aladdin casting thread, it's almost all white people, with the occasional Asiatic person. How odd. As I recall, the story is set in the middle east. Now, as to casting, if Oded Fehr can sing, he'd be a nice n' spooky Jafar.

Lea Salonga should definately play Jasmine if it was every on Broadway. Did you see the Aladdin performance at the 1992 Oscars? The staging was amazing.
