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!” - Розваги
Now, Hercules needs to be on Broadway.
Omg Hercules would be such a good musical.
+Rachel W i agree with you, would pay so much money to see it
I want to see the sassy muses on Broadway I'd pay for a show just for them
DEFINITELY!!
I have been saying it for years!!!
I need an album of him just singing different Disney songs
LanceTheDefenderOfTheUniverse there's a vid somewhere of James singing Under the Sea
You can watch this on UA-cam: Full Alan Menken Disney Songbook concert performance at 2013 D23 Expo
Smosh Has My Heart Yes! I would be game for James to do an album. I would like You're Welcome from Moana, Welcome from Brother Bear, Can You Feel The Love Tonight from the Lion King, I'll Make A Man Out Of You from Mulan, You'll Be In My Heart from Tarzan, So Close from Enchanted and Under the Sea.
all of them
Alan Menken is truly legend!
I need for James to record a full version of Go the Distance. His voice is gold!
whatcha howsya I would picture it as a duet with Jeremy Jordan
@@manuelorozco7760 that would be double triple cool. Yes, so yes!
@@aliblue3605 Yes to see Lance and Varian back together for the first time in over a year
I re-watch this video just to hear him singing Go The Distance.
@@HagbardCeline42yesss I'm back years later
I love how at the beginning it’s a traditional ballad, and as the video goes on, it’a just 3 music nerds going at it and just having a great time. The beauty of music
It’s like when you’re by yourself having a little jamming session then your friends come over and it turns into a karaoke party
Alan Menken, he wrote some of the disney music of my childhood. Such incredible powerful songs, to bad his writing partner Howard Ashman is no longer alive.
abby roadme In my personal opinion it makes him all the more incredible. His struggle and come back is amazing.
Dara Ann They would have been like Rogers and Hammerstein of Disney
They were the catalyst of the entire disney renaissance!! Its pretty amazing but like without their influence we probably wouldnt have the movies we know and love from the Disney renaissance
@@9206156175 I enjoyed Hercules, Aladdin and Mulan the most.
@@manuelorozco7760 would’ve been I think they were
I love how much fun they're having.
Ya. They are having fun
This is literally my dream: singing Alan Menken songs with Alan Menken himself! I love this so much!
Omg that's heaven. I want to do that too
TheDisneyQueen93 Yeah, that's awesome that Alan Menken is singing along
TheDisneyQueen93 Me too!
Nope. No one knows what literally means anymore. I've tried. I've tried, world.
Wish Howard Ashman was here too
I wish he would sing all of go the distance I would loop it to death
Totally agreed!!!!!!!!!
ditto there . I'm already looping this X
Guys i went to see Aladdin on broadway. It was truly magical.
My best friend got to meet James Monroe Iglehart (he plays the genie)!!!
I couldn't agree more!!!
I know he wrote all this music, but damn is it impressive that he can pull it out of his head at will.
Edit: lots of likes. I stand by this comment
Edit: Even more likes. Still stand by it. They are all super impressive
thats one of the reasons i think this whole thing was scripted its really cool but i think it was set up
scripted :) still nice
I know my band director who played the piano for all of my schools musicals (elementary, middle, high) and he was able to play a song from 7th grade 5 years later from memory.
When you've been playing certain piano songs for years, that tends to be the case. There are various piano songs and adaptations that I've been playing for over 10 years that I can sit down at a piano and jump straight into without a second thought. Once you've mastered the muscle memory, you don't even think about which keys to press anymore. But it takes years(or months if you actually practice them regularly, which I don't).
I saw another video where Menken plays a 10 min medley from his songs with no notes just deciding spontaneous what to play next 😯
1.Go to Distance
2.Kiss the Girl
3.Gaston
4.Zero to Hero
That was the melody. Amazing.
+Sean “kermit t. dinofrog” Horace what was the song which Alan sang "I'm the Genie palala-lalalala.." ?
+Andre Robert Daba I think that was something he made up😂😂
haahaha cool. It kinda sounds familiar though lol hahaha thanks
100 like jes!
thank you.
broadway should do hercules for sure!!!!!!
yes yes yes yes
Aprilia Utami Setya Wijoyo I'm feeling Jasmine Cephas-Jones as Megara and bringing all the original Muses back to reprise their roles. I'm not sure who'd be the perfect Hercules and Hades, but this would at least be a really fun small production or concert.
i actually believe the next broadway disney musical theyre working on is hercules. though i may be wrong.
YES
My life will not be complete until I see 5 powerhouse muses on Broadway!
the range he has on his vocals is unbelievable
Literally, the broadway Aladdin naturally looks like Aladdin without anything to make him change into him. He’s natural!
As for broadway Genie, he is as close to the original Genie as anyone can get!
James would make a fantastic Sebastian.
Lacey Wright
If only Little Mermaid were still playing, then we can have that!

Another Disney comic relief he would be good as is Tug from Brother Bear
He would literally be great in anything!
Alan Menken... What an absolute genius.
My childhood in 4 minutes I need more of this the 90s were some time
Adam’s little “woah woah” in Kiss the Girl is so good.
I read this just as he sang it 😂😂
I know right. This would of been so fun to do if I were them.
I WANT A FULL VERSION OF HIM SINGING ZERO TO HERO.
I JUST WANT TO LISTEN TO HIM SING ALL THE HERCULES SONGS
Verloren the Lost & of kiss the girl!!!
Verloren the Lost And it needs to be a la Danny Elfman, with him singing ALL five parts
I'd love for James to have his own cd doing all the famous Disney songs. He is so amazing with that personality and voice of his
He’s a big Teddy Bear I just want to cuddle him
0:33 Go The Distance
1:31 Kiss The Girl
2:44 Gaston
3:27 Zero To Hero
man I forgot Hercules had such awesome music.
I haven’t watched it since I started high school
James Monroe Iglehart is just great... powerful voice!
Love it when Genie says I be the small guy and you be the tall guy !!!
Go the distance left me #Speechless.. So inspirational!!!
I'd like a full cover of that song, wouldn't you?
A
Loved it, just seemed so fast?
#hashtag
I like how this comment is 3 years old... but now it’s a legitimate reference to the new Aladdin movie
Alan Menken is king. 🙌👑
He is inimitable indeed.
So king that you spelled his name wrong.
Alan Menken is a god
Alan MenKing.
Zavyn lol I just saw this now 😅 must have typed it on my phone
Also love watching composers playing they're own music. It is, to me, a special treat!
god bless Alan Menken
TRUE
Wait, I missed something
400th like
And James Monroe Iglehart, he has mastered that role
Wish Howard was still here.
!!!!!! I actually screamed when he started playing the go the distance music this is the best thing ever
That dude in the blue shirt sure has a smooth voice.
His name is James Monroe Iglehart
Alan’s ability to remember how to play all these songs is amazing.
Yes mate, it's muscle memory
He wrote the music. Lol.
@@doctorstrange367 You think we don’t know that
アランメンケンと同じ時を生きられて嬉しい。
尊い。
Alan Menken - what an absolute legend 🔥
I love that this is on the soundtrack and that it's on Spotify
Really?!? Brb check it out.
OMG! Where??? 😀😀😀
It's on the 'Aladdin Original Broadway Cast Recording' the song is called 'Genie Medley'
thanks!!! I have it saved now
But the three songs after Go the Distance aren't Ballads. So cool that Alan Menken sings too and he can play the piano quite well. Not all composers hit the keys with that type of delicacy. Also, Adam has ridiculously large biceps.
Actually, I think kiss the girl is considered a ballad. Not a traditional ballad, but it’s known as a sentimental ballad which is usually a romantic or sentimental (duh, it’s in the title hahahaha) story or song. :)
Ballad ≠ slow song.
Ballads are songs that tell stories. They can be at a fast tempo as well.
Their voices are so awesome, it's better than the original, especially with "kiss the girl".
"Sing with me now" gets me every damn time. lol This video ALWAYS puts a smile on my face and puts me in a better mood.
I just need a collection of James and Adam singing Disney songs. Please. 😍
How Alan can just change the song on a dime perfectly.... amazing!
Possibly my favorite thing ever. Alan Menken has composed most of (if not all) my favorite Disney songs.
PROTECT THEM AT ALL COSTS. THEY ARE SO PRECIOUS.
Lance especially
I wonder if this is why they decided to implement Genie's little Disney medley in Friend Like Me.
Matt Babineau Beats me or planned beforehand
When James sings " I know every mile, will be worth my while" I died of musical happiness. Thank you Alan & James & Adam and everyone involved. I love this play.
Alan Menken is incredible. Good god
Alan is so proud of them 😍😍😍
This has to be the best version of "Go the Distance" I have heard-Solid vocals with Menken on piano-it sounds more powerful imo
Vin Liberato need a full Go the distance with them right.
It's fun watching talented people having fun with their talents.
Dear Alan, thank you for your magic for all of us.
Alan Menken is such a genius 😍
What song hasn’t Alan written for Disney ?! Dudes a genius
Jacobs plays piano also?!?! Good grief what CANT he do...
+Jennifer Hiemstra He went to SF Conservatory for it
chat line
Suck...and even then I am sure for demonstrational purposes he would at least give it a good try.
Probably can't dunk.
He's played piano since AGE FIVE. Plus, when you major in music, you are given SOME piano instruction, even if it's not your major instrument. (I attempted to major in music when I first started college, too many moons ago.)
It is like my dream to meet Alan Menken.
James Monroe Iglehart - I wanna see you do a full cover of ALL of these songs! And every other song ever. please and thank you.
alan menken is such a treasure
Thank you, Alan Menken for all the wonderful songs you've made!
I Can Go the Distance is one of my favorite songs I love it so much
Thank you Alan Menken for all the music you provided to Disney films. Without your music, they wouldn't be as magical.
HERCULES THOUGH UGH ITS JUST PERFECT
This medley is literally on Pandora music and let me tell you how happy it makes me to see the people as it's filmed.
ピアノ弾いてる人と、歌ってる人達がとっても楽しそうにしてるからこっちもウキウキしちゃうね😊😊
dat voice of hercules... dear god... please... so amazing
I can’t fathom how incredibly talented these three individuals are, simply incredible.
I wish with all my heart they released a full version of Go The Distance, precisely as they sing it here. You have no idea how many times I have listened to it. It’s so beautiful. Please record the whole song this way xoxo
It's nice seeing grown men having fun with Disney
New Naturel Makes me feel cozy! My two brothers have Disney Sides that rival mine.
最高にハッピーな気持ちになれる🫶
Mr.Alan Menkenの曲、全部大好き!
Genie would be a hilarious Sebastian haha
oh my god *-* go the distance was quit perfect ♥
Go the distance is my favorite Disney song, not my favorite movie, but song! I love to hear it!
I love that guy's voice!
I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this man !
Alan Menken is a freaking masterpiece of the mother nature I swear
Alan looking at them with such pride and joy and I am here crying over the fact that it's James Monroe Iglehart, Adam Jacobs, aND ALAN MENKEN I CAN NOT BREATHE.
All the chills!! I love Alan Menken’s work ❤️
I HEART ALAN MENKEN AND HISCREATION OF SONGS! THEY R MY CHILDHOOD!!
I loved this so much. I was just jamming out on the bus. So good! I got to meet both of these amazing men last summer after a show and they still make me so happy every time I see them.
What a voice, and what a legend. WOW.
I luv go the distance 😭
I can't listen to this music without crying !!
From 1:10 to 1:15 you can see that Alan appreicates James's voice at least as much as we do
When I grow old, I like to be like Mr. Menken here...happily playing my piano with some people younger than me, going for a jam
this is possibly my favourite track from the album
Especially the first Song from Hercules is so beautiful and magic. FANTASTIC!!
Thank you Alan Menken for making my childhood complete.
Alan made SO MANY PEOPLE'S LIVES SO GRAND AND AMAZING!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
They read all the lyrics and Alan Menken is just like "imma do this without sheet music"
He wrote these songs decades ago. You really think he wouldnt have them memorized at this point?
Sheesh you guys with your sheet music obsession.
I love Aladdin so much!! They are so amazing
"I know every mile, will be worth my while" - Is the most aaaamazing note, you can make in any (and every) battle/struggle, you find yourself in. That one line changed how I saw myself, when I heard it the first time, and it still moves me.
Well done, well played, well song. Just well done. Now I'll go and wipe the tears of my face.....
I would like a full version of that Kiss the Girl with those harmonies 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I've watched this video so many times. this is so much talent in one place
adam playing the piano just gives me life omg
Why does this make me so happy
My God!!! That was incredible!!!!! I started crying tears of joy when they started, it was perfect.
FINALLY A VIDEO TO THE MEDLEY IVE BEEN OBSESSED WITH!
CANNOT believe this was 9 years ago!!! I still listen to this album
That Harmony in Kiss the Girl omg!
I love James’ voice
Ya, me, too. I hope he’ll feature in a Disney animated musical film.
OMG OMG OMG Alan Menken!
Alan Menken....legend
I looove seeing performers love what they are doing while crushing it too!!
This is so good... so so good. Alan Menken is a genius.
I neeeeeeed to be in the room where this happens!

Bunch of talented people having fun
It is so enjoyable to watch talented people performing!
