    I was there in the audience. It’s worth saying, this was taped at 7am in the morning. And the people in the audience were in line by 5am outside the theater. So first of all, kudos to the actors and dancers and everyone behind the scenes to be up that early and perform. Secondly, people willing to be up at 4-5am to go to this taping are either huge Disney/broadway fans or both, so for the people saying the crowd was dead, trust me, we were very loud and cheering and were encouraged to do so because the more energy we gave out, the more energy the performers had on stage to give a great performance on screen. They clearly lowered the audience volume. This was a free taping that you had to be signed up for and accepted. We got a little history lesson about the theater itself, the Disney on broadway production team and we got a Q&A from princess Jasmine herself. She was my favorite, she had a lot of bubbly personality for 7am haha there were also a lot of giveaways like a pair of free tickets which I won.

      I've been saying they should've gone the Broadway route with Will Smith the entire time, and based on the new trailer it looks like they will be doing that for a lot of the movie (I'm guessing for 'blending in' and whatnot). I obviously don't think Will Smith can come close to this, but I'm much more optimistic and ecited to see his performance after today's trailer

It’s so memorable, and if you haven’t listened to the full song you should! A lot of it got cut out for this shortened version!

    Me and my uncle went to see Aladdin in London, we have to admit, this was probably the best song we heard of seeing Lion King and Wicked, the guy playing Genie is the best we seen in musicals and of course the real star. When the song ended, we clapped longer than usual just because it was just amazing. The genie even gave a shocked looked when we kept clapping XD

      You clearly underestimate the work of the sound crew. They focused on the performers not the sound of the audience. That's why you barely hear them. Taped specifically for tv is going to sound different. The audience was extremely energetic.

      I was there in the audience. It’s worth saying, this was taped at 7am in the morning. And the people in the audience were in line by 5am outside the theater. So first of all, kudos to the actors and dancers and everyone behind the scenes to be up that early and perform. Secondly, people willing to be up at 4-5am to go to this taping are either huge Disney/broadway fans or both, so trust me, we were very loud and cheering and were encouraged to do so because the more energy we gave out, the more energy the performers had on stage to give a great performance on screen. They clearly lowered the audience volume. Also if this were a regular show, it’s broadway/theater known rules that you are there to enjoy the performance and being loud/talkative/cheery/on your phones,etc... can hugely disturb the people around you as well as the people on stage unless the performers on stage encourage audience participation during specific moments in the show.
