HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- To celebrate the 5th anniversary of Aladdin on Broadway, 5 current and former Genies - Tony Award winner James Monroe Iglehart, current star Michael James Scott, tour Genie Major Attaway, and current Broadway standbys Juwan Crawley and Deonte L. Warren - stopped the show following today’s matinee with a medley of Aladdin hits.
The medley, staged by Tony Award winning director Casey Nicholaw and written by Tony nominee Chad Beguelin, was a tribute to the show’s most iconic songs ending with a performance of “Friend Like Me” as you’ve never seen it.

Aladdin - but every character is played by the Genie. WE NEED THAT FOR REASONS 😂
I think it'll be funnier if the movie was an abridged version but all of the roles are played by the genie.
I whole heartedly agree
*YES*
TheTrueYami That would be like Louis in Ant Man or something
YES! REASONS!!! :D
Whoever had this idea should get a promotion
And a serious raise.
And the Keys to the city
MorTimer Play and the choreographer
MorTimer Play i’m honestly so glad i clicked because this was more than i expected
Someone saw the Les Miserables 25 anniversary when the 4 most notable Jean Val Jean's sang "Bring him Home" together
I love how they all look so similar and all seem like the same genie but are so different at the same time
That's because all black genies look the same.
thirtythreeflavors Someone’s trying to get roasted I see XD
I know right..... how the hell are you going to find 5 guys that look so similar and as far as we know are not related.... I mean I know they have basjcally the same makeup, but still.
Marika Kutaladze it’s not even that but all of them have a sorta bigger build except maybe 1. Honestly I just assumed they were clones or something
Sometimes I confuse Major and James.
You are trying to tell me that they couldn’t have picked any of these people for the live action
There's no business like show business :/
@@BeruBeruIce how is Will Smith a RUclipsr? He shouldn't be Genie but what you said isn't true.
I'll be honest, I'm sure Will Smith will be good, but they can't say they didn't have the money to hire any of these guys because Mary Poppins Returns got LIN MANUEL MIRANDA.
BroadwayLoverGirl of course they had money...they hired Will Smith. He’s expensive lol
Because screen acting and stage acting require a whole different set of skills these guys clearly don't currently exhibit.
A new spin off musical - 2 hours, 2 acts of Genies playing all characters.
Make 👏 it 👏 happen 👏
Alexis Mendoza it’s just all the genies with different costumes over theirs and some party city wigs
Alexis Mendoza yes!! like that time cher didi west side story xD
I don't think there's enough coffee to pull off such a cast!
Alex Mendoza And we call it “Genie: Behind the Lamp!”
Maybe that would be a riot!
I love how they’re basically one upping everyone else in the show
Vinny's clone?
Ryne Webster I’m more of his opposite
Cuz its Genie
They're the genie... It's just how the laws are
Very cool😊
I am now thinking what would happen if Robin Williams met 4 other Robin Williams. Lol
Aaron Lew
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ikr
The world would implode from sheer logical I consistencies
@@jessesmith4167 and that would have been just fine
I don't think we would be able to handle it, it was hard following that one guy and 4 other like him oof our minds would explode
it would've been absolute mayhem in the best possible way
I saw Aladdin on broadway and our Jeannie threw in a wakanda forever at one point and I nearly fell out of my seat
That's the best part about Genie, he can literally go off script and it won't be off place
Bro me too that’s crazy
Yo I saw them on tour and my genie said that too lmao!!
The Genie in London did that too 😂 I laughed so much I cried
Same, he also mentioned something about my cities home baseball team
JAMES FINALLY GOT HIS MEDLY YESSSSSSSSSS
William Mahe LOL. I got what you mean after dueting with Alan and Adam
Rose Kennedy What are you suggesting?
@Rose Kennedy I think him singing Proud of your Boy counts as one.
After the broadway soundtrack... yes! It's about time!
James Iglehart was my voice teacher in high school in East Palo Alto, CA. I got to see him perform in Ragtime well before his well-earned, well-deserved Tony. He was this awesome as a teacher and really had a profound impact on us young brown and black kids. One of the few black teachers we had.
TashBagash Awesome! I have been a fan of him since Memphis. I also loved him as Lance Strongbow on Tangled
Ur kidding! That's awesome! Talk about knowing a star
Did u ever see him play Genie?
my music teacher was his music teacher
He’s an amazing actor and guy. He’s also really sweet. He loves meeting and teaching people. He came to Foothill College one day just to say hi and see some theatre. He’s such an inspiration to so many. We need more teachers like him. My high school had some amazing and inspiring teachers.
@@manuelorozco7760 Sameee😎 and also Asmodeus in Helluva Boss
3:35 "See you at the 10th anniversary, y'all!" Oh my God, 10 Genie's at the 10th anniversary. I don't think I could handle it!
They've GOTTA bring 10 Genies in for that! In addition to these guys, they could have Anthony Murphy and Korrie Lee Blossey from the tour, Trevor Dion Nicholas from the West End production, Gareth Jacobs who did Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, and... whoever else has played Genie at some point. Maybe from one of the international productions like Germany or Japan.
Only 2 years to go now, let’s make it happen people!
One year to go!
We made it
Can we talk about the falsetto on Genie number 2 holy moly that was amazing!!! I saw Michael when Aladdin was on tour in Kentucky and it was amazing!!
It was amazing! My daughter is a singer and his falsetto was better than hers! Lol
Tim Hartley Wow 😮
fhs2013cb The second Genie sings like the Stylistics. An old Motown group
The second Genie (Juwan) was the Genie we had when we saw Aladdin. He was halarious!
Agreed Juwan nailed that song. Especially when he hit the high F
They said I couldn't wish for more Genies. Little did they know...
Love how when Genie 2 first started singing the jasmine song people were laughing, only to be on their feet applauding not thirty seconds later at that amazing falsetto
anastasia closed today- this makes feel a little better
Emily Ann I want to see Anastasia
Emily Ann omg I know I was sobbing like all night 😂😂😭😭
Eh, maybe. I saw Anastasia twice and if was on still I’d see it over Aladdin any day. Aladdin looks amazing but Anastasia was just beautiful!
I tried to get my mind off it by watching this... 😂
iam very sad to i cant believe it it was a grate show only 2 years deserved a longer run i only saw it once so sad
“You’re the tony winner” omg that was so funny
Kinda fitting they let JMI sing first as he did originate the role onstage AND won a Tony for it
Will Smith has way more shoes to fill than just Robin Williams
Makes me wonder why they couldn't have just hired one of these guys.
Brand recognition. Beyond those who watched Broadway musicals, who else knew them? The Genie is a famous role hence they need someone to draw the crowds...
VALENTINEproductions And he didn’t disappoint
@little mix He was NOT lol
I'm SO PISSED that they didn't cast Iglehart for the live action
こういうの、日本でもやってほしい……すんごくジーニー
The First genie has THE warmest voice ever! I’m in love!
nicefanful I have been a fan of James since Memphis. I never been to New York but i saw a filmed performance of the show. I am jealous to those who saw him in Aladdin and Hamilton
He is absolutely slaying in Hamilton right now!
So many shiny black men and im living for it
I really love the fact there are 5 Genies on stage, they look similar and yet so different. The Genie is like the type of character to summon multiple versions of himself and starts a convo with them.
Original Genie 1992 - "but never duplicated genie of the lamp"
Genies in year 2019 - "Nah, we'll have five of them singing"
Edit: Thanks for the likes, never had this many
You deserve those likes xD
AHAHAHAHA!
Except we’ll use broadway singing humans instead of blue spirits.
Imitated but never duplicated.
You can't duplicate the original Genie.
These guys are great but you can't compare them to Robin Williams; he is one of a kind.
i love for the fact that the 5 different casts of the genie, not a single one of them holds an ill will to each other and instead living happily ever after at each other's sides lol
I wish there were an official recording of Iglehart covering Proud of Your Boy. Chills.
Man I just want to hear him do a full rendition of Go The Distance
Not a full version but I know there's a bonus Medley track on Spotify of him singing it alone!
oh wow now that’s how you do an anniversary
Imagine the 10th anniversary, they’re probably gonna add 5 more genies
@@rainyday6512 only makes sense
This should be a musical
Five genies who have troubles and different personalities fighting for Aladdin to wish on them
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 400 LIKES!1!1!1!!1 THIS IS YHE HIGHEST LIKES IVE GOT😭😭❤️❤️
Sarah Ramsland starkid is working on it 😂😂
YES
YES PLEASE
OMG YOU LITTLE GENIUS
OMGmynameisLILI - Lili Martínez Ayy StarKid fan! You mean Twisted right?
Any of them could have been Genie in the Live Action especially James Iglehart. Saw him on Broadway and was fantastic!!!
Well they chose Will so shut up
me too. lol
Francis Ronald Go But Will Smith was good enough
Yup! Don’t think will smith needed to be attach to the film in order to get audience to watch
Sadly, they needed some star power in the Genie role. It couldn't just be a relative unknown actor.
The sheer unadulterated chaos of 5 genies on one stage is something I never knew I needed
I was at this show when this happened and it was literally the coolest thing ever... nobody expected it to happen but when it did I had TEARS
Awesome
It's a milestone with a five year anniversary. U gotta expect something big like this. Imagine what they'll do for the 10th anniversary
ALL OF THEM ARE AMAZING BUT JAMES IGLEHART IS THE ONE TRUE GENIE THAT I WILL ALWAYS LOVE 😍😍😍😍
Koff koff, Robin Williams
Mr Spider Guy williams is great but jmi is an icon
True, but robin can’t be beat.
Agreed but i will forever love Robin Williams Rest in Power!
myles vance yessss brother
What a physically demanding role. Props.
Amazing group of guys who wear the costume and do the character proudly! Robin Williams was in great company 😜😉😘😂🤣😂🤣
I SCREAMED when James started singing Proud of Your Boy! 🙌🏻
ddd8170 Me too considering how much that song annoyed me during the show. Apparently the wrong person was singing it.
I'm proud of James for singing this song extremely well
0:45 this mans voice feels like a warm hug
Laura Glynn Just Like Lance
Lucky enough I got to see James as the Genie AND I just got to see him as Lafayette/Jefferson in Hamilton. Honestly one of the best parts of both shows.
Gillian Rose that is freaking awesome! Tell us about him in Hamilton!
Someone understudied James when I went to see Hamilton, I was really sad, but it was also March 13 so he was probably rehearsing for this
He was phenomenal in Hamilton. I would see Hamilton again so I can see James.
Yo I had the same experience. I saw him on Hamilton for my birthday. Best surprise.
HE WAS AMAZING IN HAMILTON Oh my gosh
Love this! Really captures that vibe of the Genie duplicating himself into other genies for a musical number!
That was unbelievable! I saw Major Attaway play Genie in Aladdin last week in Costa Mesa. He was the THE star of the show indeed. Happy 5 year anniversary to Aladdin on Broadway
Major attaway got his starts at my local theatre!
I got to see him play coalhouse in ragtime way back in 2012!
ClassicalHeroes Never saw Ragtime? How good is it
@@classicalheroes8910 I know exactly the one you're talking about. Got to see him and my sister got to play the stage with him.
I got to see him a few weeks ago in San Diego. He was indeed the star of the show. You know how whoever comes last is supposed to get the most claps? Well genie went second and he got more applause then Aladdin
Ashleigh Modglin No kidding
And now it’s the 10 Year Anniversary 🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️
The guy who straight jumps out of his seat at the end to applaud is a big mood
Robin Williams would be proud
For a character as iconic as Robin’s Genie, the casting directors, book writers, and performers all did a phenomenal job of capturing the spirt of the genie without copying Robin’s style. Can’t wait for the 10th anniversary reunion 💕
Now I have to wait 5 years for the 10th anniversary
4:35
All righty then. Can’t wait, see you in 2 years.
We should get a whole musical of the Genie making fun of the characters and singing their songs or something.
That would be a riot almost as big as the Dueling Cavalier preview scene in Singing in the Rain
That energy of the actors is really something.
Didnt know how much I needed a version of Aladdin with just genie's
'YOU'RE THE TONY WINNER!!!'
The second genie should sing Defying Gravity
They gave the Genie a ballad!
How rich their voices!!!!
I want the full album of them!!!
Contemplating buying tickets for the Feb. 26, 2024 performance in hopes that James Monroe Iglehart's shout of "See you at the 10th anniversary...!" was sincere....
Legit chills at the Friend Like Me finale. Outstanding.
Major Attaway played the genie at the show I went to and he was INCREDIBLE. Everyone was talking about him after the show! He was by far my favorite character
Y'all Juwan deserves more credit for that beautiful section... those high notes are aosndoafkma thx
Next year, this March 2024 is the 10th Anniversary of Disney’s Aladdin Broadway Musical
Did anyone hear Juwan say "woop sorry" when he ran into James? LOL too funny. GREAT GREAT MEDLEY!! 4:33
Each one is literally perfect for genie, they hit the nail every single time
Genie seems to be the most fun character 🥺❤
I’ve been casted as genie for a production on Aladdin and it’s the most fun role I’ve ever played
"All right. I can see that I'll have to teach you how to be *genies* "
YAAAS JUWAN SLAY THESE PALACE WALLS IN THE ORIGINAL KEY AND OPTING UP THE ENDING
*edited to fix his name!
Tbh he sang it better than the Jasmine I saw!
Juwan is going to be a massive star! My sister and I did shows with him and he's one of the nicest people I've ever met.
@@stephaniescott7809 who'd u see as Jasmine
Every other "These Palace Walls" will never meet Juwan's, I have been spoiled. 😂
@@ntlespino I dunno about that. Arielle Jacobs in my opinion gave me the best rendition of these Palace Walls when I saw Aladdin on Broadway. Tho there's no denying that juwan nailed this song
wow. They all have great voices. I want to see this.
I now expect the 10th anniversary to have 10 genies.
And probs 15 at the 15th
This is my favorite thing ever! I’m going to see Aladdin on broadway and I’m so excited! The first time I saw it on broadway the tony winner (James) was the genie, but he’s not there anymore, so I’ll have to see the new genie.
I feel ya! Aladdin was my first Broadway production I ever saw! It will forever have a place in my heart! 💜
Same! It was the first show I’ve ever seen on broadway!
aww you're so luckyy i wanted to see JME so bad but sadly he was replaced before I could😭
they have so much glitter on them that they're practically mirrors!
Out of all 5 genies
James Monroe igelhart
And
Michael James Scott
Are the best I’ve actually seen all 5 of them perform but those are my favorite
I sadly missed seeing MJS when I saw the show in Melbourne and New York. He's definitely someone I hope I see play Genie next time I watch Aladdin
If you haven’t seen this show in person, you absolutely need to. It’s honestly magical!
I saw the show on Broadway last week, and Michael James Scott killed it as the Genie!! He was the big star! My first ever show and I hope not the last!
これはきちょうだああｗ
日本でもやってほしいねｗ
We saw major on broadway in February and he was amazing! Best character in the show by far!
I saw Major last year in Costa Mesa
And there are five people who could’ve played the live action genie
THAT’S ALL FOLKS
Y E S .
As much as I love Will I think they should’ve chosen one of these guys to play genie, I mean listen to those voices!
I really like how they started with Proud of Your Boy. That's really special.
i love juwan's voice
Same, love that feminine voice
YAY! James Monroe Iglehart!!!!!!! Congrats, Aladdin!!!!
Maggie Obersat I’ve seen him as Bobby in Memphis and voice Lance on the Tangled series
James is in Hamilton, he plays Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson
@@BurrShotHam711 Yes now he is!!
I love how the people were standing up and applauding at the end, overall this performance was AMAZING!!
SOOO MUCH TALENT IN ONE VIDEO 😫😫😫
I can definitely imagine the genie acting out the story for future generations in the Aladdin universe
“See you at the 10th anniversary”
OH YOU KNOW IT
If I could b there for the 10th anniversary, by golly I so would! Aladdin's my favorite musical of all time
I saw Aladdin on Broadway about an year ago, and it was so good that I keep coming back on RUclips and watch these kinds of clips.
It must be fun seeing this guys, it doesn’t seem like work, it actually looks like they’re just having fun. These guys are amazing!
The "oop sorry" at 4.33 gets me giggling every time.
I had the EXTREME honor and pleasure of seeing Michael Murder it live three times!!!! He IS the genie for me!
I NEED A STUDIO VERSION OF PROUD OF YOUR BOY NOOOOOWWWW
Michael still doing it 5 years later and now he is going around the world
Goosebumps in the first 30 seconds
That is not fair!
I want a full version of Friend like me with all that soul
Who would'nt
1:55
Nobody:
Very tall person sitting in front: clappppp clappppp clapppppp
SwizzleTwizzle _ underrated
My school’s music department got to see James in 2017 on broadway for Aladdin - he was amazing and the whole show was awesome 😭😍
That’s awesome!
This is one of the greatest things ever.
James has such a strong, warm voice
ALMOST THE 10 YEAR GUYS
When Robin Williams infused the character with such a large personality that Broadway needs 5 large men to replace him on stage. RIP
The chills when all the Genies started singing, it was so good
Asmodeous is the guy on the left side on 3:28 😭✨
Your demon host, Asmodeus, the embodiment of luuuuuust!
Asmodeus is actually the guy in the Middle who started sing first in the beginning the “Tony winner” James monroe ingleheart
I was fortunate enough to see James Monroe Iglehart as the genie a few years ago, I was in tears then and I’m in tears now 😭😭😭❤️
Somewhere, up there, Robin Williams is smiling.
Just saw gene attaway in Aladdin last week. He was perfect.
I was lucky to see the show live in 2015 and now the anniversary im happy to see the Genies together :)
ジーニーは、とっても魅力的なキャラ。素晴らしいパフォーマンス❗️ from Japan
I need the entire musical with everyone played by Genie. Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.
