[@sket91]

I mean I absolutely love this, but my fave part of all time was at 1:56 when the Lion King cast all turned to the female vocalist about to hype her up and everything like you can hear her with the rest of the group and then came her solo and they're over there hyped and everything. I live for that.

[@naguesbalioneloubda1561]

What's the song pls?

[@alwayshelen2055]

This video just proves that theatre performers are just theatre nerds at heart and that they really love what they do. I love it

[@ya4girls1]

Okay Lion King has amazing music, bar none. But the Genie is the best performer there, he gets so into it and you can tell he loves it. ps this is incredible.

[@emhullum4120]

arabian nights was a weak choice to compete with the lion king opener...he should have gone with the genie song.

[@ya4girls1]

Em Hullum If you're referring to a friend like me, that's an amazing song but it's a solo. Arabian Nights is Aladdins opener it has amazing lyrics, a great melody and it's better to show case a big group. Again Lion King has the better sound track but the Genie led his cast in a beautiful, fun performance.

[@dommypoo7973]

i think they should have gone with the Prince Ali entrance song. That would have been even more awesome! But anyways, OMG this video gives me LIFE! It just makes my childhood smile!

Lion king took this one. No bias. It's just that the lion king is the most popular Disney production and their harmony and passion just made me feel like singing along even though i don't know the arrangement.

Not only is "The Lion King" the most popular Disney production it's also the highest-grossing Broadway show of all time.

[@emilyxxx1418]

+Tammy Dickson that is what i love about the lion king - the delivery of the music

[@XiloChannel]

+Tammy Dickson The Genie said it though. "Y'all had 10 hits on one record!" He was right. Plus, The Lion King was and is Disney's real main masterpiece.

[@ZhangtheGreat]

+Tammy Dickson Well, they've been doing this longer. Aladdin is relatively new compared with LK, and LK has pulled off these "improv" (note the quotes) sing-offs at plenty of venues previously.

[@applewhite4286]

The Lion King Broadway came to Hawaii way before Aladdin did.

the best part was when the video shifted from portrait to landscape

[@DAOzz83]

So here's a kudos for the Aladdin group at the end. All the way through I was wondering what song from Aladdin could possibly work as a counter to "Circle of Life," and then, BAM, they pull out the least remembered song from the movie, enhanced and arranged for chorus! They're clearly nowhere near as polished as the Lion King cast, but damned if they don't make it up in pure fun.
