Watch Courtney Reed turn into a Disney princess for her role in the hit Broadway adaptation of "Aladdin."

[@sora_aka_yamisora]

She looks awesome as Jasmine. And not that I hate the curls, but I wish they did the style of Jasmine's animation hair. I know it would be harder to move and dance in it, but still I miss it sometimes.

[@gnocchibalboa]

She has the ponytail style from the movie during the market scene in the show, if it makes you feel better

[@satpalrao5763]

[@LondonFogBritish]

I totally agree. I think her whole look made her into a Kardashian not Princess Jasmine

[@princepeterwolf]

She IS Jasmine, she looks exactly like her, she's stunning! And it's wonderful to see how passionate she is about the role

[@xgray2012]

I know, right?!?!

[@scottiegirl2041]

My sentiments exactly.

[@yeseniaShuman]

She looks great, but the wig does remind me of Belle's, not Jasmine's.

Yessss thats the only thing that made me cringe!! Was that ugly ass wig

[@drmonet]

Definitely not jasmine hair. Its every bit of belle from beauty and the beast. The scene where her and the prince are sharing dinner and she is wearing a yellow dress.

[@j.i.r608]

@@desi_blackgirl4949 It's not ugly. It just doesn't match Jasmine's original hairstyle. It would most likely work better for Belle in Beauty & the Beast

[@Beautifullytragic6]

Her dressing room is adorable!

[@lizzieschriner6300]

I had the chance to see Aladdin and on my trip to NYC last week, and it was absolutely breathtaking. Courtney was incredibly sweet and took the time to talk to everyone at the stage door. I love her!!

i saw the original cast on broadway... ABSOLUTELY CAPTIVATING!!!! the show was simply stunning and i couldn't get enough of courtney singing palace walls😍😍

[@TheLatinaBabyGurl]

Loved this video. Princess Jasmine is my favorite, I love her spunky attitude, how she really does care for her people and basically she sees past all the background of poor vs rich. She is born and raised Princess so naturally she can be a spoiled brat sometimes but her heart really is for her people. She was thr first Disney Princess with black hair, brown eyes, tan skin combo. My favorite color is Blue as well and I love bling lol. In gold vs silver I always loved gold so her outfit is so perfect to me. Jasmine is the best and this woman is picture perfect portrayal of her.

[@bex3222]

She's so gorgeous. I swear she's such a beauty in real life. She was such an eye candy when I saw her preform and ugh. She's great.

[@gh41i4]

Princess Jasmine is beautiful representation in the media for arab little girls. They finally get to see a princess that looks like them. Not to mention her strong personality!

[@naomi9627]

I played Jasmine in my Christmas show and I had to sing a song about her wanting to go beyond the palace walls and it was called 'I've had enough' and it was so much fun!! X

[@lilithperalta5126]

Ooooh her looks could also be passable as Esmeralda if she changed to her costume hahaha... She looks so pretty 😍🤩

[@cholenunez5016]

Ivy Leonard omg yes I totally see that

[@monsutades9999]

she looks so much like jasmine!!! as a middle eastern person myself (jewish levantine) although I wish they wouldve casted real middle eastern people they did a wonderful job and im glad she got the role!

[@TianazBryant24]

So pretty

[@joyajohnson2216]

It's so cool to me how they all do their own makeup.

[@LarissaDawn]

It's cool that she gets to do her own makeup!

[@arleen123100]

When she smiled she kinda reminded me of alli Mauzey 😊

[@icomeandgobybubble87]

OMG! She's so pretty! Am I the only one who thinks she even sounds like the speaking voice of Jasmine from the first movie? She was born to play Jasmine!

[@RisaGreen]

I'm pretty sure there's only been one speaking voice for jasmine

[@icomeandgobybubble87]

You're right. I had to look it up because I thought they used a different voice actress for the sequels. Nope, just a different singing voice than the first film.

[@aoikato1041]

Can someone please tell me which M•A•C lipstick she's putting on in this vid... She literally IS princess jasmine so so so beautiful and talented.

she is preety but she doesnt look like jasmine...

[@cholenunez5016]

Dennise Danny I agree but I think she's still great for the role

[@crystalraf]

She actually looks like jasmine in real life!

[@minovisa213]

I want that lipstick! Anyone know the name?

[@TheAravisTarkheena]

Michelle Viau I want to know what color it is too! aHH! Lovely color! All I know is that it's a mac lipstick--we can probably show this video and they can find the color!

[@TheAravisTarkheena]

Tyler Tremallose Wow! thanks for the help! I couldn't see that before! I saw A93 and looked it up: might be Viva La Glam Rihanna A93 :)

[@TheAravisTarkheena]

Michelle Viau I just found a site that shows what she uses--the lipgloss they listed looks exactly like the one on the video! www.instyle.com/news/broadway-beauty-how-look-mesmerizing-jasmine-aladdin-11-easy-steps

[@minovisa213]

TheAravisTarkheena thank you

[@HopeNazir]

That would be fun

[@favorite3932]

She looks like Jasmine with her long brown hair

[@dsmproductionsofficial131]

You can tell she's wearing a wig though from the lace sitting on her forehead

[@joanna1825]

I think everyone knowa that, she's wearing a wig cap.

[@dsmproductionsofficial131]

+Jewela Chen Once the wig is on you can't see the wigcap.

[@joanna1825]

DSM Productions (official) Yes, if it shows, it defeats the purpose that it is a wig cap

[@dsmproductionsofficial131]

+Jewela Chen We wouldn't know she wore a wigcap but I said originally we know it's a wig since we can see the lace on the forehead so don't know why they put a wig on her

[@jeaniep507]

+DSM Productions (official) they use wigs because they're much easier to maintain than real hair and its easier than trying to get hair to be the exact same every night. Also, they let the lace show because from stage you wont be able to see it.

[@zianabenton5251]

She looks stunning and amazing. But i wished they would have made the hair look like the actual Princess Jasmin

Fun Fact: Jasmine is the first non-Caucasion Disney Princess.

[@KaiInMotion]

"She doesn't look like Jasmine!" Nobody looks like Jasmine. If they did they'd be dead because her torso isn't even large enough to accommodate lungs. She's a cartoon with heavily exaggerated features.

[@allisonlogan9827]

dang the literally have the same exact nose too😱

[@TheMineCart]

soniclover37 If you're older than fifeten/sixteen and fantasise about a young girl it's just sick. Aladin is 18 and Jasmine was 15, Ariel is 15 and Eric 18, Mulan was 16 and Shang was in his 20. Disney's fucked up making people perv over kids.

[@vanessaduran4566]

Shes really pretty, but I feel like she looks more like pocahontas. Just look at her. 0:26

[@artsyshan]

She’s gorgeous but she doesn’t remind me of Jasmine. She doesn’t have the same large eyes or strong facial features Jasmine has. Also that hair😕 looks like Belle.

[@stephaniepulchan4098]

She looks nothing like her at all !! Are you all blind

no te pareces en nada a la princesa jazmín

[@MiMi-ds6mr]

no

[@shaillyverma5532]

She is talented but shes not middle eastern or south asian and Disney really missed their chance to represent people on broadway who are hardly ever seen and so that cancels all of it out.

[@ruhinsandhi3378]

You could hav just written jasmine...not aladdin jasmin...as far as i knw jasmine doesnt really need a man support for her existnce...she has her own identity

[@AMermaidsTail]

Courtney went to my high school and was actually in the same drama academy as me and had the same teacher! I'm so happy that one of our alums actually made it!

[@juneediaz]

+Jenna Kohn Out of curiosity, may I ask what kind of ethnicity is Courtney Reed ?

[@AtlanticGiantPumpkin]

+juneediaz Does it matter?

[@keiko4043]

+Josie Alyvia I don't think +juneediaz meant it in a rude way. Courtney seems like she has mixed features (which is absolutely gorgeous) of course there would be people interested in knowing more about her.

[@crazygirllulu1234]

Becky Stfu I think k they share the same colors but have very different eye and face shape

[@kaitlyncleary3424]

Becky Stfu I think the same thing. Like the outfit seems like it has a lot of colors. Jasmine only has a blue outfit. And the hair looks nothing like jasmine hair

[@TheGreenbutsad]

haydenlafayden yes, Jasmine in cartoon has really big beautiful eyes and different face structure while this girl has Asian style eyes (not to be racist or anything , don't know how to give example)

[@heyayup]

well you are correct, Jasmine is persian/middle eastern

[@randomstuff8027]

[@ramasubbaiahpuppam8665]

[@TheCanadianEuro]

I wish they'd use her real hair instead of a wig! It's so long and thick, it would be a dream to style that!

[@DragonFox84]

you know how long that take if they had to style it each time and then have to fix it when it gets messed up? they have wigs set in the style already and multiples so its easy and fast and they can use things on it that they wouldn't on her real hair to keep it perfect with no damage. but yes sometimes the actors hair is quite nice.

[@alexaliona]

DragonFox84 Right. But what would be amazing would be Sierra Boggess's hair for Christine! with that beautiful red-brown hair, it would be a DREAM!

[@kailithebelovedd]

Imagine the styling her actual hair 8 times a week. All the heat and product used is gonna turn her gorgeous hair into hay.

[@fayewidjaja]

Kaili Chia that is soooooooooooooooooooooooo right

[@dsmproductionsofficial131]

***** I think that could have worked as Jasmine's hairstyle isn't that difficult, I think a bit of product and hear 1 day will keep it's style for weeks so no need to do it everyday and no 1 would ever wear their real hair, just think how low budget short films have to cope having to cast the precise actress with the right hair as their budgets can't buy a wig for every character.

[@Aika9412]

That costume is amazing OwO

[@jlly16]

I love these behind the scenes character transformations. Keep em coming

[@joyajohnson2216]

Do you have any pictures, videos as I've yet to go to Disney?

[@leadingham3000]

Yes I have videos of her playing the princess in frozen and her playing Jasmine I got to go backstage and meet the cast of Aladdin the very last show at Disney California adventure it was so sad.

[@purplepuppy2132]

She doesn't look like Jasmine, or even Arabic for that matter. Couldn't find any brown girl to play her?

[@heyayup]

Actually all of Aladdin's architecture is based off Isfahan in Iran not India or the Taj Mahal. Aladdin is a persian/middle eastern tale. Of course people from that region are meant to play the characters. It's common sense.

[@hksenewrathna1678]

[@cholenunez5016]

[@user-js2is9qo2l]

Lana Well, in the opening song, it says “Arabian nights” why not cast an Arabic girl then? The exact location is fictional but the fact it’s “Arabian” means they could have found an Arab girl, js.

I wish it was played by someone that is actually of Arabic descent

[@Anymous578]

[@GirlWthGlasses]

While that is true, how many arabic or iranian or indian young women have the skills and training to do broadway musicals at a level as high as courtneys? The cast was made to put on a good show and make money but not many have the talent or the voice to fit classsical disney songs. Plus they dont have the time or money to train people for the role.

everyone complains about her hair, but have you seen middle eastern women? courtney reed looks far more like jasmine should look if she were real than the movie's jasmine! she's so beautiful

[@heyayup]

She's beautiful but Jasmine should be played by someone of persian/middle eastern descent. You wouldn't have Mulan played by someone who isn't Asian. It's just common sense.
