    Finally an actor of Chinese origin, cause Aladdin is Chinese in the original story! Telly's gonna kill it!!

      In the earliest version of the story, Aladdin is a native Chinese boy living on the streets of China. Arabic culture and language were imposed into it, making it more like an Arabized "China". In Disney's 1992 film version that we know now, the story was set in a fictional city called Agrabah. So for this stage production, seeing a Chinese actor play Aladdin makes me very happy.

      Matt Tam You do know Aladdin is a an Arabic origins name. Plus the one who wrote Aladdin is a Chinese Muslim author so I can see why!

      The original was written by a Chinese Muslim and it didn't happen by accident that he used an Arabic nameö Aladdin was written by a Chinese but it is an arabic story with an arabic charackter

      He's a wonderful singer. Besides being a Warbler on Glee, he's been on Broadway in Allegiance. He's also got a couple of albums. Check them out. You won't be disappointed. He'll be a great Aladdin. He looks the part and is a good singer/actor/dancer. And he's got a really good heart that comes through in all his performances.

    VIDEO OF MAJOR ATTAWAY PLEASE
    and for people who only saw videos or the show of james as the genie, Adam as aladdin
    rest assured, Telly and Major are just as good as the original cast, if not better, and thats hard for me to say

    • @JonathanPerez-up8mp
      @JonathanPerez-up8mp 5 років тому +1

      I had a different persepctive. I saw them both and in my opinion Adam hit certain notes waaaay better then Telly did. The new Jasmine is on the same boat and the old Jasmine. This new Genie I felt was alot more fun and energitic. Telly was too short on certain notes so it felt undermined but nonetheless it was a good show. I just feel Adam gave more emotion during certain points espcially Whole New World. Telly sounded as if he was talking instead of singing. Just a personal opinion

    @JonathanPerez-up8mp 5 років тому +1

    Saw the show twice when it was Adam Jacobs once and Telly Leung, i'm sorry to say while Telly was good Adam was waaay better. Just a personal opinion. The new Genie (Major) is better than the old one (James) and the new Jasmine is on the same point with the old one voice wise.

    Aladdin is Arab story not Chinese, and this seems clear from the Arab names in this story,
    In the original Arab version this story happens in Egypt not in China,
    Antoine Galland copied this story from another Arab story called (Ma'aruf the Cobbler)
    Then they change names, places and some other things in this story.

      Kenneth Ho@ > Have you ever heard in your life that there is a Chinese boy his name is Aladdin ?? Aladdin is just a modified European version of another Arab story Happening in Egypt,
      I have no problem if they want to make a Chinese or European version of Aladdin but they have to give him Chinese clothes , Chinese environment and use Chinese Music,
      but what we see here is bring a Chinese boy and try to make him look like Arab living in an Arab environment.

      salim D Aladdin was originally set in China. A chinese man headers about the story and changed it into the story we know and it was. The story that is set in China has nothing to do with this Aladdin /the one we know/.
