@@xiopaovid1215 My mom didn't know he could sing and only saw him as the incel from Pretty Woman and was in DISBELIEF when I showed her him as Jacob Marley.
It's songs like this are the reason why I favor this one over all the other Cinderella productions. We can debate all day long who the best Cinderella is, but I feel over all the cast is all 10/10 in this film, where as in other productions I feel one, or a couple cast mates stand outs. However, this song I feel showcases everyone is 10/10 in this performance of Cinderella.
I think this was the best song on this movie. Ja got cut triped but i literally picture this scene. Every word he says son Alexander is a beast u hear me. He such dance jump
I wish the bakers going "HEY!" and Jason Alexander crying, "Children!" while holding the cake was included in the audio xD And Brandy saying, "The prince is giving a ball!" Why is THAT not included here???

Absolutely agree. He's also in the Timmy Turner grown up as human cosmo and I find that hilarious because of the way he says Cosmo when he finds out Kramers first name.
I'm gonna be in my towns theater production of this musical and I'm so glad I didn't get the herald lmao. I wouldn't be able to remember all of those names, I feel really bad for our herald though.

Jason Alexander doesn't get nearly as much love as he should. Everyone just thinks of him as George from Seinfeld but damn the man is talented.
IAmDeath oh shit !! How the hell did i miss this fact smh dam he is super talented
I just love that he was able to sing this entire song, without running out of breath and with an accent.
@@xiopaovid1215 My mom didn't know he could sing and only saw him as the incel from Pretty Woman and was in DISBELIEF when I showed her him as Jacob Marley.
Somebody from Cinderella was in seinfeld?
Ever see him in Pretty Woman? Great performance in that too.
The orchestra is fire in this song
WHEW!!!! Aren’t they!
Coryt
yessss
I can't be the only one that said "The Prince is giving a ball!" at the end of the song, can I?
I said it too!!
I’m one of these individuals
I also said "he'll thank us for it later"
OMG I SAID IT! I felt left alone until I came to the comments
I can literally picture this whole scene in my head as the music plays.
Same here ❤
Still in 2024
Same
Jason Alexander must've had a blast with this number 😁
He OWNED this song along with the band right here 3:17
He’s incredibly talented! Helluva voice! Also… Roger and Hammerstein! 😂. Such a good combo
It's songs like this are the reason why I favor this one over all the other Cinderella productions. We can debate all day long who the best Cinderella is, but I feel over all the cast is all 10/10 in this film, where as in other productions I feel one, or a couple cast mates stand outs. However, this song I feel showcases everyone is 10/10 in this performance of Cinderella.
Am I the only one who went "He'll thank us for it later" @ 00:31?
Macharmza nope, I did that too.
I did.
You are not alone. i do it every single time.
I did
It's not a complete song without it.
"He'll thank us for this later." Jason was doing his thang in this scene. Get it
What an absolute joy to listen to this after so many years
5vyears and I'm still listening
About 3 months ago, I saw this on Disney+ after almost 30 years and vaguely remembering this version.
Sidney?! SIDNEY!!!!
Is giving a BALLLLLLLLL!!!! ❤
4:25 that last note at the end tho!!! 😭✨👏
My favorite part!
Jason Alexander was a riot in this
I love when the beat starts at 3:17 and ends at 3:31.
Me too! Even as a kid I knew that that beat bangs 😁😅
The drum is so good!
I get so lit at that part every time! That band put some heavy seasoning on this song right there smh!
love this vhs all the songs are awsome
I love how the king and queen won't just gain pounds but royal pounds lol from eating all that food....😂😂😂😂😂
I'm listening to this so I remember the lyrics so I can perform it on stage! I got in to my school's version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella!
cringe cringe I know this is late lol but what role did you play?!
same i was coach man but now im a mouse bruh
Eyyy I got in my ensemble and got back from my choral rehearsal
This song really hits when this man started rapping with that whole rushed verse
Right Jason Alexander went in on this track!
I can see this entire scene!! This song was so chaotically beautiful lol If you know, you know.
I recently watched this on tubi, childhood flashback, lol : )
svery year on t.v. this show played! I always liked they used horses in the show.
They don’t make musicals like this anymore!
Now on Disney+, heck yeah!!
Yup! And I've been trying to spread the message far and wide! (Yes. Movie line intended with purpose. Smile)
@@gentlespirit4as your spreading the message, make sure to include that the Prince is giving a ball!
@@Grym0626 🤭😊😁
Finally up on Disney+!
Jason Alexander is sooooooo criminally underrated . As is this musical!
At my theatre class, we are doing this play and I am so fricking excited
Where at and when? I’d love to see an adaptation of this movie live
How’d it go?
I think this was the best song on this movie. Ja got cut triped but i literally picture this scene. Every word he says son Alexander is a beast u hear me. He such dance jump
Don’t worry your highnesses. He’ll find his love tonight. I can feel it in my bones!
You’ll find it in your bones if he doesn’t. *wacks him*
We did the play version of this for my very first high school musical and BOY it brings back memories ^^
This movie goated
Thank you for this! I have been trying to find this soundtrack since 1997!
This was the best song and dancing in this movie, Brandy my wife in my head, im proud that u took this role. Fan for life and wife
Herman?...herman favorite part when I was little
Beautiful Genius yea herman
Favorite part now
There's a scratch or something at 1:41
+alasanof Yeah it scared me tbh
im think its part of the song, like tapping two tap dancing shoes together or on a hard floor. it is startling tho XD
Love this song :D
Samesies
I love this film too.So glad I own it now.
THIS SONG NEEDS TO BE UPLOADED AGAIN; THERE'S SOME INTERFERENCE NOISE THAT OCCURS DURING THE SONG!!!! >:(
Such a fun song
I wish the bakers going "HEY!" and Jason Alexander crying, "Children!" while holding the cake was included in the audio xD And Brandy saying, "The prince is giving a ball!" Why is THAT not included here???
I love this version.
My full name is Jason Alexander Renwick
Are you really him?!
Jason Alexander was in tv show Seinfeld and Rocky and Bullwinkle(2000)movie
But my top favorite movies of all time he was in is
1.Disney's Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella(1997)movie
2.Tom and Jerry Back to Oz 2016(he play the Voice of the gnome king)
3.Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame 1996(he play the voice of Hugo the gargoyle)
4.Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2 2002(he play the voice of Hugo again)
5.A Christmas Carol(2004 version)
6.The Trumpet of the Swan 2001
Absolutely agree.
He's also in the Timmy Turner grown up as human cosmo and I find that hilarious because of the way he says Cosmo when he finds out Kramers first name.
I also loved him in the Made for TV adaptation of Bye Bye Birdie!
Y’all are forgetting he was also Duckman
“What the hell are YOU starin’ at?!?!”
I almost forgot he was did Disney's Madeline: Lost in Paris 1999
He was also serial killer Henry Grayce in Criminal Minds.
What just happened on 1:41?!?
I’m hearing static!!!
And on 4:37, we won’t hear Brandy (Cinderella) speak “The Prince is giving a ball!”?
Soundtracks often leave out spoken dialogue. Hence why Cinderella’s line is absent
I Feel Like Royalty!!!🥰💖💕😵🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Royal family
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_family
I'm gonna be in my towns theater production of this musical and I'm so glad I didn't get the herald lmao. I wouldn't be able to remember all of those names, I feel really bad for our herald though.

YAS whoopi
Lionel is my favorite character in this movie.

I KNEW she had said "he'll thank us for it later" I just knew it. Must've been edited out of this version.😊
@@lindoralindt4131 She did in the film version of the song, but this is the studio(ish) version
@@lindoralindt4131 it’s also “Margarite-Ann” not margarita 😂😂
I prefer the versions from the original 1957 production and the 1965 remake.
Yes
I'm also Asian
true
What is the first verse of Lionel's patter? It was changed for the stage version.
I meant the verse Lionel gave in the 1997 film. There was a stage version, where the lyrics were changed.
Jason carried
4:00 is the beginning of my callback 😭😭😭

My favorite parts are 1:24 - 2:09
