Disney's Aladdin The Broadway Musical-Diamond In The Rough

[@robertlauncher]

Yes! Now Jafar has a proper villain song and Jonathan Freeman got to perform it! Double dose of greatness!

[@joshsauer4725]

Gamer Rob They were originally going to have his villain song be "Why Me?". Which was a song cut from the original movie, but for some reason abandoned it.

[@robertlauncher]

Josh Sauer I prefer Humiliate the Boy, that was so delightfully mean.

[@batman369able]

+Josh Sauer plus he had "You're Only Second Rate" in the second movie

[@FunGal1691]

+Gamer Rob Jraf already had a song sung by Jonathan Freeman

[@WDI2008]

+Josh Sauer Mostly because Howard Ashman died during production.

[@darthstarkiller1912]

Hearing Jonathan as Jafar again, there's that little kid in me that is both cheering and jumping with joy!

[@TisNessie]

hey who should we cast as jafar? how about the actor? yeah… yeah... he's good.

[@Imagin8io]

Jesus my internet cut out for a while and I have this on a huge musical playlist so I didn't know it was the next song. Was just enjoying the silence for a little bit and then suddenly Jonathan's silky voice purrs into my ear. Gave me the biggest delightful shivers.

[@CJCroen1393]

I love how Iago's the one keeping his cool XD

[@PrincessDreamActress]

"Happy place!" Me too. I think this is my favorite song from the show (I've seen it and it's amazing). It reminds me of "Habanera" from George Bizet's opera Carmen, the music I mean.

[@amandapedroso4728]

Iago's solo is the why I pay my internet

[@WillScarlet16]

When I heard there was going to be a musical of 'Aladdin' I thought 'Nobody could do Jafar like Jonathan.' Fortunately, nobody did.

[@christinasamuel731]

same even if we have it in the west end our Jafar dose it good but you can not beat Jonathan

[@footyfan101ful]

William Craig the Australian Jafar, Adam Murphy sounds exactly like Jonathan's Jafar. Aussie Iago is a lot better than Broadways Iago

[@ManuelRoberto-hy6xh]

@@christinasamuel731 I have been thinking of me and Jonathan Naomi Scott and Trevor could work Peter Howe

[@cestmoi914]

Broadway musical (2013) Aladdin the Musical - Diamond in the Rough Lyrics JAFAR: *laughs* You're the one that I need You're nimble, stealthy, skilled. Do you want to continue abusing those skills? Stealing bits of bread and worthless bobbles? Or do you want to make a name for yourself And do something that would make any mother proud? You have the profile of a prince With a physique that matches Beneath the dirt and patches You are a diamond in the rough I say we work together since You're braver then which you are We're just as shocked as you are That you're a diamond in the rough ALADDIN: Hey I'm no diamond in the rough JAFAR: Under the filth and the fleas there are gifts that you've been neglecting And truth be told you are not quite the guy that we were expecting And though you might need finesse, and perhaps some *sniffs* disinfecting You'll be the one who succeeds when the lamp of their needs collecting ALADDIN (spoken): Uhhh, I dunno guys, I've got a funny feeling about this. I better just be on my way. JAFAR: Take one step and die you brainless miscreant! (Happy place!) Apologies What I meant to say is (sang) You just don't know how swell you are (You just don't know how swell you are!) So far the only hitch is (There's just an itty bitty hitch) You're an embarrassment of riches (Embarrassing? Too true!) You are the diamond in the rough OTHER: Let's all rejoice the spooky voice and you're the diamond in the Rooooooough! JAFAR: Look here's the diamond in the OTHER: Three cheers, the diamond in the BOTH: We found the diamond in the rough! ALADDIN (spoken): You better find somebody else! JAFAR: There is nobody else OTHER: Talk about the girl JAFAR (sang): Oh, Then, of course there's Princess Jasmine It's clear she took a shying to you But, let me be frank, With no cash in the bank, You'll never win her heart It just tears me apart To see her slip right through your fingers ALADDIN (spoken): Which way is this cave of yours? JAFAR (sang): That a boy! Go Through! You Might be a bum But you're one Of noble spirit OTHER: It's just a cave that might eat you alive No need to fear it! ALADDIN: Well it's a risk that I might have to take JAFAR & OTHER: We're glad to hear it JAFAR: So please no missteps or blunders OTHER: Cue the Cave of Wonders! BOTH: We've waited long enough CAVE OF WONDERS (spoken): Who disturbs my slumber? ALADDIN: Uhh, it is I, Aladdin CAVE OF WONDERS: You are the diamond in the rough The one whose worth lies deep within You may enter ALADDIN: I don't believe it My mother always said if I only applied myself - If I only believed! JAFAR: We don't have time for self-discovery! Fetch me the lamp. Now! ALADDIN: Wish me luck! JAFAR: Luck! (sang) Goodbye you diamond in the OTHER: Please try you diamond in the BOTH: Don't die you diamond in the rough JAFAR (spoken): At last!

Someone have the lyrics?

[@musicaltheatrefan2k226]

I ship Iago with Thelma from the One and Only Ivan. They remind me of Ono and Anga from The Lion Guard, and when Ono played him in TheWildAnimal13's spoof, NickWildeladdin. I imagine Anga being an extra, and animatics of them with Cain as Jafar, and Anga taking that solo at 1:54 (wow, she can hit a high A5 if that is possible). Also I imagine Ono doing the beat drop before 1:54 ("GET READY FAM! HERE COMES THE DROP!") Have any replies?
