    To celebrate 20 years of Disney On Broadway, ABC aired “Backstage with Disney on Broadway: Celebrating 20 Years.” The special, hosted by Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family), gave unprecedented backstage access with the Broadway casts of Disney’s “The Lion King," “Aladdin” and the North American Tour of “Newsies”. “Backstage with Disney on Broadway: Celebrating 20 Years,” also featured music from the Disney on Broadway catalog, including special musical performances from Sir Elton John, Sam Palladio and Clare Bowen (ABC’s “Nashville”), Ashley Brown (“Mary Poppins”) and Darren Criss (“Glee”). The special aired on December 14, 2014.
    ALADDIN, adapted from the 1992 animated Disney film and centuries-old folktales,” is brought to fresh theatrical life in this bold new musical. Aladdin’s journey sweeps audiences into an exotic world of daring adventure, classic comedy and timeless romance. Directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Casey Nicholaw, with an award-winning production team and star studded cast, ALADDIN is, as NBC-TV declares, “Exactly what you wished for!”

      Anna RedPhoneBooth I asked him if he wanted to play Aladdin on Broadway and he said no. Broke my heart

    • @RedPhoneBooth3
      @RedPhoneBooth3 7 років тому +4

      I don't think I would like him as Aladdin. While he does have some POC in him, he does also have white passing privilege and I am a firm believer that POC characters should be played by POC people.
      But maybe as like a new Disney prince he could be hella cool.

    • @Ineeee

      Only Adam looks a bit more Pinoy than Darren

      @bondjames8225 8 років тому +28

      paisley gillette Okay first of all its a Broadway production by Disney of Disneys Aladdin, so it's still a Disney song. Secondly, I was quoting a line said by Darren Criss making fun of himself in Very Potter Musical. So.....Know what you're talking about before you comment?

    Darren voice kills me, his voice is so amazing and soothing and this just reminds me of the shaggy hair hobbit who made Disney covers on UA-cam. The great thing about Glee ending there will be more Darren work and this video proves he should be back on Broadway longer

  • @ellenbadger7174
    @ellenbadger7174 9 років тому +33

    Darren did such a nice job here. It would be wonderful to see him on stage again, hopefully for a longer run than the three weeks he had in “How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying.” That was January 2012, nearly three years ago! I’m sure people have been talking to him, now that Glee is finishing filming. He just needs to match the right production with his talent.

    Proud of your boy
    I'll make you proud of your boy
    Believe me, bad as I've been, Ma
    You're in for a pleasant surprise
    I've wasted time
    I've wasted me
    So say I'm slow for my age
    A late bloomer
    Okay, I agree
    That I've been one rotten kid
    Some son, some pride and some joy
    But I'll get over these lousin' up
    Messin' up, screwin' up times
    You'll see, Ma, now comes the better part
    Someone's gonna make good
    Cross his stupid heart
    Make good and finally make you
    Proud of your boy
    Tell me that I've been a louse and loafer
    You won't get a fight here, no ma'am
    Say I'm a goldbrick, a goof-off, no good
    But that couldn't be all that I am
    Water flows under the bridge
    Let it pass, let it go
    There's no good reason that you should believe me
    Not yet, I know, but
    Someday and soon
    I'll make you proud of your boy
    Though I can't make myself taller
    Or smarter or handsome or wise
    I'll do my best, what else can I do?
    Since I wasn't born perfect like Dad or you
    Mom, I will try to
    Try hard to make you
    Proud of your boy

    Lol I was watching this vid (with headphones on) waiting outside my classroom for my class to start when my friend snuck up behind me and screamed so loud and was like "OMG IT'S DARREN CRISS!!!" and it startled me (and I think a few other people too) to where I spilled my drink practically all over me. Not fun, but I plan to get her back. Now that I think of it, it's a pretty funny moment :P

    Um excuse me, I think it should be Darren Criss (A Very Potter Musical) in the description instead of Darren Criss (Glee)

      although he was amazing in A Very Potter Musical he is best known in his roll as Blaine from Glee. I am a huge fan of both.

      paisley gillette​ ik, it was really more of a sarcastic comment, since personally I love AVPM and dont care for GLEE in the slightest
