The bit where they have bits and pieces from other Disney classics makes me smile, I'm such a sucker for nostalgia.
Seeing it on Broadway I died when they did that. For real. I was like OMG that's genius!
OMG I LOVE that part!
Kayla Charles That's genie-ous!*
EsmeraldMaster that reference tho
Basically it's all the masterpieces the legendary Alan Menken has written! ;)
Even on Broadway, Genie steals the show. ;)
Genie is my favorite character. He's exciting, full of energy, and very funny!
***** did it go well?
lmao how old are you to say that in 2017
EHH246 lol
lanky noodle 54 Born and raised in Alabama
When he sang "beauty and the beast" when I went to see it he shouted out " EAT YOUR HEART OU EMMA WATSON!" I almost died!!!!
*OUT
Lol
And without any Auto-Tune.
Magic cookie 392 that’s incredible, thanks for making my day for real
idk
Genie: "Can your friends do this?"
Aladdin: "What friends?"
Babkak, Omar and Kassim would be very disappointed.
babKAK OMAR ALADDIN KASSIMMMMMMMM

If you have not SEEN this live, you are missing out on one of the best Broadway numbers of all time.
This is so true.
so true, just went and saw it on broadway on saturday! AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!
Just saw it last Saturday its my favorite musical!
Ughhh......I missed it,you guys are makin' me envious.....
THE BEST MUSICAL EVER!!!!!!!!!!
I saw this with my kids last month on Broadway. This was one of the best musical numbers I have seen on the stage. The Genie put everything into this song and deserved every second of the clapping and cheering that he got. To see the smiles on my kids faces was worth every single penny.
Just watched this show in Auckland NZ it was amazing
I saw it on Broadway in the New Amsterdam theater in Manhattan and this number was my favorite too.
@@dean4526 I saw it in Costa Mesa, CA almost two years ago. I agree
Honestly i'm impressed with this version. The guy who did this is ACTUALLY singing and is still pulling all these different impressions and exuberance of Robin Williams. I applaud this version.
James Monroe Iglehart is just Broadway's black version of Robin Williams at this point
This is a such a wonderful rendition of this song and I think it is a shame that people are comparing it to Robin William's version instead just appreciating the two completely separately. The thing I don't think people are grasping is that these are two entirely different versions of the same song with different goals and different target audiences. The movie version is an animated film geared towards children and rather than performing something that will be portrayed onstage, Williams was doing a voice over. That automatically dictates a different kind of performance and ability. The actor in this version however is performing for Broadway which means a larger target audience age wise and a much different type of performance where the goal is to put more emphasis on the musicality than the impressions/voices themselves. That's the difference. Both performances are equally brilliant and commendable and I don't see why people should be arguing about it. I really think Robin Williams would be proud of this guy.
I agree with you completely. I was watching a documentary about the show and the show lamps didn't work because of this number and the carpet. But it worked in the long run since the show is up.
+Kat Holland Well said. He does a good job of being similar to Robin's gene, but so different at the same time, both are equally great.
Great song
Agreed, I wonder they will incorporate some of that in the Aladdin remake?
Oh yeah I love this version. It’s so much fun.
The voice of Vortex and Asmodeus.
Yur kidding!?
@@demonic-angelusagi305 nope
It's me
I didn't know
He also played Billy Flynn in Chicago for a while
When I heard Bibidy Bobbody Boo that's when it hit me like a ton of bricks that Aladdin and Cinderella are the same story.
+Solar-Sirius nope it's from Cinderella :/
wait... how..... oh, I just got hit by the same bricks 0.0 OMG YOU'RE SOO RIGHT!!!
+maxtheaxeiswax OH SHIT I JUST REALIZED THAT TOO
Omg you're right
I like to see it as a updated Cinderella
You can totally see why he got the Tony.
Max Barr He really does bring a lot of energy and personality to the character. You can just hear it in his voice.
Max Barr And what’s surreal about it is James got the Tony co presented by Zachary Levi who now they share voice co starring in Tangled the Series as Eugene and Lance respectively
“Mister Aladdin sir, *W H A T* will your pleasure be?”
“Try some of column A, try *A L L* of column B!”
I love the way he sings. It really adds to the song.
U forgot Have a wish, or Two, or THREE
My school is doing aladdin for the school musical and I am the f*cking magic carpet lol
+Libby Connolly xD Good luck! That's a main role!
+Alafig The Fig Thanks!
LMAO, A CARPET
+Libby Connolly We are 2 now
+Libby Connolly same, tbh
I absolutely love this version of friend like me. Aladdin is one of my favorite Disney movies. Robin Williams did such a great job with the character of the genie. And I believe this version of the genie is definitely doing justice to one of my favorite Disney pieces. This jazzy twist on a Disney classic is just wonderful.
Yassss
"Welcome to 'Dancing with the Scimitars.' " I LOVE IT.
Didn't expect that to happen
Good point did you know that is changed to welcome to strictly come dancing for the original west end cast
God bless House of Asmodeus and this.
Fuck that I hate his bird ass after what he did there
I love how both Will Smith and James Monroe both gave their own take on the Genie instead of trying to be Robin Williams. It gives them their own brand of charisma. Williams had the best range of impressions, Will Smith combined the song with a bit of his talent from Fresh Prince, and James here... holy crap, he parodies other Disney songs?! Awesome!
Robin Williams would be proud
Yes yes he would
Yes he would. He would be very proud.
BAD DAY?
***** yes but i doubt he saw it
I'm not so sure. The tones just don't sound right at times
Shoutouts to this guy. He can be the spirit of lust himself, a genie, and a living bag of insects.
First time I saw this show on Broadway... the whole show blew me away. I was mystified. But then Friend Like Me happened, and oh my lord, it got a two minute long standing ovation. I wish I could see it again for the first time.
Hearing Vortex/Asmodeus sing this is oddly fitting funny enough.😂
*Ahem, I think you mistitled this*
I think it's supposed to be " _Seven Minutes and Thirty-six seconds of Why this Man Should Have Played Genie in the 'Aladdin' Movie_ "
FACTS
Eh, in my personal opinion i like Robin Williams and Will Smith better than him. But that doesn't mean i don't like him. I personally love him! But not as much as Robin and Will. They all did amazing in their own ways! And i appreciate them for giving their own personal flair to the genie
Senpai so true
Senpai I liked all the genies because they stuck to their own versions/ they portrayed the genies in their own way instead of trying to copy one another which makes me respect them a lot
@@THATRANDOMDUDE99999 Will Smith was fucking trash as Genie.
I can’t believe he’s the voice actor for ozmodious in helleva boss!! Now I want to hear him sing more
When I went to the very first show on Feb. 26, 2014, this song, despite being in the first act, got a standing ovation; I have never seen that before at ANY show, Broadway or whatever. That's how I knew this show was gonna be HUGE!!!
"Seize the Day" in Newsies... Another Disney show. They're on a roll.
I went yesterday to the 2:00pm show and after this performance we did a standing ovation. We wouldn't of stopped clapping if the conductor didn't start the music.
I love Newsies. I went to the filmed performance at my local AMC two months ago. First time seeing Newsies
Defying Gravity - Wicked. One of the best known musical song. First act and typically gets a stand innovation
I cried through most of this..Robin we miss you.
Same here...that, and I also hate this version, too much jazz.
+NR Rowley ...The original song is literally jazz, though. And the broadway version is using an extended arrangement that was cut from the film.
I hope he's looking down and saying "I wish I was f*cking alive too" 😞😔
Nah, he's probably dancing along to this every show, cause it's something he'd do
Can... you guys stop complaining and comparing actual humans to each other? These people try their best to entertain you, they use actual energy. Just to fill your stupid needs of entertainment. At least appreciate. I know this was written 2 years ago. But it still makes me sad
Dude went the extra mile and gave us A WHOLE DISNEY MELODY WITHIN THE SONG LOL
Can’t believe this guy is Asmodeus in Helluva Boss!
Ah wait what?! Amazing
He's also Zestial in Hazbin Hotel
To anyone who compares this to the movie without going to see it live, you are a fool. This song is one of my favorites and for it alone I say go see the show. The Broadway show is just simply fantastic!
Sorry, many of us just don't have the means and have to enjoy it from home.
Dylan Davis I love the broadway version
Aladdin is not one of my Disney favorites but I would love to see the Broadway version one day
My mom surprised me and my brother to see Aladdin one day since I’m doing it for the play at school. During this scene, I cried so much from how talented Inglehart is and how amazing the performance was. I hope everyone gets the same experience listening to the song, because it’s truly a wish come true!
You gotta have amazing breath control to handle this song.
Saw the musical when it came to Australia. Probably the best musical I've ever seen, the costumes, choreography, music, the performance of the genie and this song stole the show. It was absolute Disney magic.
Backing band are fantastic - and were incredible live. So many intricacies to this, brilliant version!
If there's a live action remake of Aladdin, I think I know who they should cast as the Genie...
MichaelSar12IsBack there is going to be a prequel to Aladdin about the genie
Nah too soon
+Dylan Kaiser That's fucking stupid since Robin Williams won't be able to voice him.
+lnsullivan422 Way.
Eh this guy is good but he just can't do it. He sounds wrong at times
I would LOVE to see this guy play Audrey II in LSoH. His voice is perfect for it.
I love how Alan's work is combined in the song like Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, etc... 4:40-5:30
I scrolled lot and couldn't find it so here you go

Thank you dude !!
I can not be the only one who thinks this would be good for a Fizzmodeus animation
Now I want it
@@B4dr4bbit I know me too! Or perhaps a series of Stolitz Aladdin animations due to Paimon being voiced by the guy who voiced Jafar in the original film. Of course it would also feature Fizzmodeus scenes somewhere somehow. What are your thoughts on that?
I saw this in London and it was amazing! If your looking for a musical to see then see Aladdin.
This definitely does Robin Williams justice.
Yep.
Much more justice than Will Smith for me
sure..
@@Gomitasd at least it isn't as bad as will smith
I feel like the other Disney songs r in there because of the many references Genie made in Aladdin himself. That's actually kind of funny
Actually I think it's a reference to the fact that all of these songs, as well as Friend Like Me, are all written by Alan Menken who did the music for the entire musical, as well as for the 1992 (i think?) movie.
This man is literally the genie come to life.
His voice reminds me of Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors in some parts. I like it:) He could totally play him. And of course he rocks it as the Genie. I think Robin would approve. And so would Levi Stubbs if he ever got to play Audrey II:)
Suddenly I want to see the Genie do an Audrey II impression in one of the Aladdin spinoffs. :D
Kiara Zapata there's definatley similar bits as there written by same people
The composer of most of the Disney Renaissance is Alan Menken who also wrote the music for little shop of horrors.
I was LITERALLY THINKING THAT and then i passed your comment. He has that attitude in his voice!
Wait how did I not know this!?
My favourite Disney song, and this was an amazing cover.
Na verdade essa é a música original. A da Disney é que seria um "cover".
My favorite song is You're only Second Rate,By:Aladdin,The return of Jafar .
same here
When he did Beauty and the beast and then continued with the other classics it totally caught me off guard, I just started weeping uncontrollably.
R.I.P Mr.Williams. thank you for bringing me these laughs and tears of joy. We will always remember and love you...!
So glad there’s audio. I watched this live the other day expecting to be bored out of my mind and it was amazing. The sets the costumes and the music was amazing. I love jazz already as a musician so I kinda fan boyed with all the live music
My only favourite part is " WABAWA WA WA WABAWA WA WA "

Baston that's ok but I get really annoyed..... "I" is "I went to a place." I'm is describing YOU so "I'm German" would be grammatically correct....

Tysm
Pov you accidentally released asmodeus from his lamp prison
I saw this play a few months back when I was in London and I tell ya this scene and this scene alone was worth the price of admission! Now that the musical is coming to my hometown in San Diego I think I'm gonna see it again just to see this live one more time!!
I saw the show in Costa Mesa and I hope to see the show again someday
Don’t hate me please, I like this version better than the original
He has such a beautiful voice
Well, hands down the best Disney medley I’ve EVER HEARD
It's the best during the other Disney songs part! And the tap! And just the rest of this song is pure amazing!!!! This is a must listen to! So glad I get to see it in July!
Any Asmodeus fans?? 😈
I would've loved to have seen this guy be the genie in the new movie. He was fantastic!
You are not alone. Especially as a Tangled fan
It has been fillmed offichaly because quite a lot of cast members a few years ago joined the west end production for that reason
It sounds so weird not hearing an applause at the end.
This man's voice is so buttery smooth, Paula Dene wants to use it as an ingredient for cooking.
ROBIN WE MISS YOU

That Song Never Gets Old
Who came he to check this out after watching hellva boss episode 7
And centuries later the Genie would grow to be an overlord of Hell, the embodiment of Lust, own the biggest romance spot in town, and have a relationship with an “overrated sellout jester” *cough* *cough* Bettlejuice with robotic limbs
I know it's stupid to correct you on this, but overlords are weaker than the 7 deadly sins in the hellaverse
@@AMaskedIndividual I’m pretty sure I wrote this before I knew the differences 😅
I like the band orchestration in this version. It's got a lot more of that big band, 20s era jazz and then the combo of other genres. And of course poking fun at other Disney songs like Beauty and the Beast and The Littler Mermaid. I think Robin Williams would approve of this rendition with pride.
I actually think that the big band orchestration helps all of the Aladdin songs. "Prince Ali" is much better in the big band style we have in the musical, compared to the film.
I love both versions but I must say I prefer Robin Williams' interpretation of the song because he put much more attitude & humor into it. He didn't focus on his singing as much as he did creating the character. But this actor definitely did it justice! I think Robin would be perfectly happy with it. ❤
This came out before he died.
+Kingdom080500 I wasn't saying that it didn't. I just mean that if he heard it (when he was alive or from the dead), he would be proud.
+Kaitlyn Massey lol of course he didn't focus on singing because he wasn't a singer. & seeing how this is a Broadway version, the singing takes precedent.
+Morrysn Dolling yes, I understand that. but this guy could've done a lot more with the character. Robin really put a lot into giving the genie very specific character traits and giving him personality. I feel more of a connection with the character from Robin than I do from this man (not saying this guy did a bad job at all! he did great, I just don't feel the passion from him as much as I did from Robin).
shawna0383 never said that this guy did a bad job. I understand that he did an amazing job and was really funny. I was simply saying that I prefer Robin's performance of Genie over this guy's.
Fun fact: This guy also plays Ozzie in Helluva Boss, and also sings in that series, too.
So you are telling me this is the same guy who played Asmodeus from Helluva boss?
Who singing love songs in my lustful lounge?

I still prefer Robin Williams' version, but Inglehart is still completely mind blowing!
Jack Moody You’re absolutely right. Nothing tops Robin Williams, but this definitely comes close
seeing this live was spectacular. i'm obsessed
I got a chance to see this live. My goodness it’s spectacular the biggest number with an amazing talent. 💙💥
Now all I can hear is Lance Strongbow from Tangled singing this!
I've been a fan of James since I saw him play Bobby in a filmed performance of Memphis. I love him as Bobby and Lance. Got a great voice, teddy bear like psychic and a comic relief to the max.
OMG, imagine if Robin Williams had reprised his role as Genie on Broadway!!!
That would've been a dream come true!
Well he's dead so I think he'll have a hard time making it to auditions.
Y'know what would be a dream come true?? If Robin's spirit or ghost or something came to haunt the hell outta everyone. (In an endearing way, of course.)

Its the best virsion of this song
Dude I loved this musical especially seeing it live!!
Wow. This man has such incredible talent. When I first heard Aladdin was going on Broadway I was mostly concerned who would play Genie. I'm so glad they chose him. Robin Williams would be so proud. :)
Aah and that medley tho.. Music just got real man.
Pretty great. Nothing can beat the original song but this is still pretty good.
I think that the broadway version did some of the songs better than in the movie. BUT I'm not saying that the movie songs are bad.
47 dislikes... This is all your fault Jafar!
I'M TURBOMAN
MY PEOPLE!
All hail Achmed, the tiger fucker!
Thanks, Hermione
ITS AT 333!!! WHY????
I saw it on Broadway! It was AMAZING!!!
wow so much nostalgia. This version is fantastic!
To me, the original will always be the best, but this was just simply amazing.
When I went to the show, MANY years ago, when Genie said "Everybody say 'Bibbity-bobbity boo!'", absolutely no one said anything. My mom and I where the only people to say something (that I could hear) and even then, we weren't loud enough for Genie to hear.
This is my favorite song in this show
This and Will's r the best Friend Like Me songs ever!!!!
How I wish I could go to New York and see the broadway...
It's really good I hope you see it, you'll be blown away
Useless Hands Hamilton sucked
this hamilfan was about to comment but will casually leave now
Me too but I'm going to wait for the national tour to come to either the Pantages in Hollywood or Segerstrom Center in Costa Mesa. However, Segerstrom doesn't have Aladdin on their 2017-2018 season schedule.
actually had the same problem as you but that was until it opened in the west end so I went last month
I actually like it better than the original
Me too, sorry Robin Williamlovers...
R.I.P. Robin Williams
I love him!
Jim M THANK U
Jim M same

My friend used this song for an audition and she practiced it EVERYDAY.
And that folks, is how I memorized half the song.
The genie has so much life in this show and I can’t wait until I can finally see it for a 4th time. I love when he sings the other disney

bobtheamazing54 lol ur welcome :D
:3
loving the pun...that was cute!
Surprised James Monroe Iglehart won a Tony for playing the Genie and singing this song so wonderfully. And I was most surprised to see the Genie sing some Disney classics during the show.
It's not the same as Robin Williams' but it's more jazzy and long.
And quite nostalgic, you know, the other Disney songs used in it. :)
Yeah I know.
Totally agree. I loved Iglehart as Bobby in the filmed performance of Memphis. And I'm excited for his guest appearance on Tangled the Series.
Have you seen it in person? The biggest focus of this song is flashy choreography and amazing special effects. The song itself seems low key in comparison.
Sean Horace Why are you surprised???
I can find no other more cheerful song. Woah.
In the beginning of the song you can hear him sing "Bippity, bobbity, boo!" a shout out to the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella. I wish I could see this live!
