They're been saying it for years on and off, but this time there's a show ready to go on, and unlike Hunchback it's actually currently running in English and has been tested with American audiences. My best guess is they'll do something like they did with Newsies - announce a "limited run" (Newsies was March-June), then if it doesn't do well they don't have the "failure" of closing the show but if it does well, like Newsies did, they can extend the run/make it permanent (Newsies was extended to August then indefinitely). <br /> <br />I really hope we get as much of the Seattle cast back as possible, purely because it's the original cast, I want them on CD, and from last year's interviews I really think they "get it". I will say though, the Tuacahn cast was fantastic, so if for any reason some members of the Seattle cast can't do it, I'd be more than happy for the Tuacahn cast to step in (I'm sure The Muny cast were great as well, I just didn't see them!) <br /> <br /></span> <table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>AladdinsGenie wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">LOL, in my original post, I almost said "Is it sad the first thing I thought about was 'WE FINALLY GET A CD!!'?" because that is immediately what my mind went to.

We will never get the show on DVD (unless you count pirate copies) but with a CD we will finally get a permanent record of the show. Something we can have forever, even after the Broadway run (which I hope goes for years). <br /> <br />And on that note.

After wowing the attending crowd with music from decades of his Tony, Grammy and Oscar-winning career (he holds the record for having the most Oscars (living)), he closed the show with ‘Proud of Your Boy,’ a song that was intended for the original 1992 film, but was cut due to story changes. <br /> <br />It was when introducing the song that Menken mentioned the musical is currently being tweaked for a Broadway run, according to reports from attendees. A new staged version of the musical was produced by Disney Theatrical and premiered at the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle last year, but no aspirations for Broadway were anywhere to be found — at best, a national tour; at worst, licensing to regional theater. Howard Ashman’s sister, Sarah, wrote about the musical on her tribute blog, Part Of Your World, and some of the changes that were incorporated into it that deviate it from the beloved animated film. In addition to ‘Proud of Your Boy,’ three other songs that were initially cut have been reinstated along: Call Me A Princess; High Adventure; and Babkak, Omar, Aladdin, Kassim, which brings along the three non-Aladdin characters with it. <br /> <br />After a brief run at The Muny in July, the musical is now in production at the Tuacahn Amphitheatre in Utah through mid-October and has managed to incorporate the use of 3D glasses for the Cave of Wonders and Genie’s ‘Friend Like Me’ song, courtesy of former Walt Disney Imagineer Geoff Puckett, according to the fan-based Aladdin Musical blog. <br /> <br />Still, prior to last night, there wasn’t so much as an inkling that it would soon find itself on the Great White Way. Actually, an inkling may in fact have been all there was, as a thread on Broadway World points to a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWbg8OvCXEg&feature=player_embedded" target="_blank" class="postlink">cryptic message at the end of a recent video update from 5th Avenue Theatre</a>.</span> <br /> <br />I'd say "I'm so happy I could die", but then I'd miss out on seeing this go to Broadway.
