  • "Call Me a Princess" (Ashman-Menken) with Courtney Reed as Jasmine and her Female Attendants in a 2011 Seattle world premiere/tryout performance of Disney's "Aladdin." "Call Me a Princess" was written for the original animated musical but dropped. And by the time the stage "Aladdin" arrived on Broadway in 2014, "Call Me a Princess" was again dropped, with Jasmine getting a new introductory song, "These Palace Walls" (Beguelin-Menken). HD1080p

    In the original film script Jasmine was a true shallow and spoiled princess and this song was used to show that. Then the story changed drastically and this song got cut as Jasmine's character was completely changed so the song didn't fit anymore. I like the idea of using this song in the Broadway show to show her trying to deter the arrogant suitors coming to marry her. It is actually a really good idea, but I can see why people didn't get it. It upset people to see Jasmine one of the most popular and iconic princesses acting like Veruca Salt, even if it was a joke.

    I wish people didn't comment on videos of this song saying it's stupid and sucks and doesn't fit Jasmine's character without bothering to look up the context behind it. I even saw a commenter here say whoever wrote it should be fired--it was written by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken themselves back when Jasmine was meant to be a totally different character, who was singing it unironically because she was actually like this and wasn't even the love interest! But THIS version for the Broadway show is her pretending to be a spoiled bratty princess to scare off suitors, and not only is that a pretty smart plan but she's getting to have a ton of fun while doing it! I love this song and wish it was still in the show tbh.

    I fucking love this song! Alright, so here's the plot deal for people who don't know- Jasmine's personality isn't any different from the movie- she's scamming them. She sings this song so that her suitors think she's obnoxious and selfish and leave on their own will because they don't want to marry someone like that.

    I saw Aladdin multiple times during the Toronto tryout. The show played with this song when it opened and by the time it closed, the creative team had replaced it with These Palace Walls. I seem to recall yet another song that was very briefly instituted for Jasmine before Palace Walls was ultimately chosen, but I can't for the life of me remember the title. The run in Toronto was very bumpy with drastic book changes being implemented almost daily. Originally, Aladdin's buddies commented on nearly all of the action... describing to the audience, for example, what a "split scene" was when two different bits of action were occurring on stage at the same time. It was a little cringey. Also, when the show began in Toronto it had a rather sad finale with Aladdin and Jasmine strapping on camel costumes with signs on the rear ends that said "just married." By the time it left Toronto, they'd replaced it with the magic carpet finale.

They changed it to make it a BIT more clear that Jasmine was ACTING like a pain including having a short scene before the song plotting with her ladies in waiting to scare away the suitors. They then throw together an over the top outfit for her with things lying around her rooms like the curtains and the pillows. And as she is barking at the princes and they are jumping she is breaking her own fake persona with her ladies giggling and laughing. They also have the sultan being much more vocal yelling about how she is acting out of character. And improvement over THIS but still all wrong for the character.

    You know, I don't get why people were so negative about this song's inclusion. I know it doesn't fit with who Jasmine is as a person but, I mean, that's kinda the point. She's capitalizing on the perception people have of her as a spoiled rich brat, and we go through a process of learning who she really is and what she wants and the depth she has, and I think that's kinda clever. I definitely like it a lot better than the other miserably generic I Want songs that have been written for her instead. Let her be fun and interesting!

      And actually, I've always kinda resented that Disney female leads almost never have significant personality flaws that they have to learn from the way the men do. They're lovely role models, but they don't get to really be human beings. I appreciate that they've been sort of moving away from that with some of their recent movies, but part of me feels like it's too little too late.

      The Seattle production of this was the uncut first draft of the cartoon before the big wigs made them go back to the drawing board for give the pun, but yes all of the songs except for the new ones for the stage, are new adaptations from the original demo's or cast recordings from the first draft, where there was less comedy, and aladdin mother was still in the movie, and call me a princess, and the song for jivar and the part Iago called humiliate the boy are my two favorite along with high adventure, and the song with his three friends. I was upset cause as a kid, i had put together my own script of an aladdin musical based on a mixture of the music from the first draft, but keeping the script based closer to the final film, cause come on, Disney has money they could have made a great rajah animatronic, same as the wolves in the first months of previews of beauty and the beast, along with having a monkey turned elephant. But I loved what they did with it in seattle, and have not seen what changes they did except on the recording of the show.

    I have to say. This song is catchy, I like the idea, and she’s doing very well. But don’t INTRODUCE a character like this. We should have a scene with her before this about how she really doesn’t want to get married, and then the gag of the song is more obvious. But the way it was just made it sting in the moment and make you feel embarrassed for everyone in the theater when it’s revealed right after that this is just an act. It’s silly to have an “I Am” song that’s the exact opposite of who she is without clueing us in first. But Howard Ashman wrote this, so he can’t be fired for it.
