[quote="Chris"]Yeah, after Seattle they did 2 regional productions (Tuacahn in Utah and The Muny is St Louis) and 2 international productions (Europe and Asia). The Denmark production was so popular in 2012 that they did a second run this year! The 2011 Seattle was the only production with Disney directly involved, the 2012 productions were a slightly revised version that Disney licensed out to selected theatres (none of the original cast involved). The Tuacahn cast were amazing, but I'm so happy they got most of the original cast back for this new Broadway production! Diamond in the Rough sounds great and that's just where I thought they'd put the new reprise and I love the call back to the earlier lyrics :) One last question (sorry!!) does it end on a big I'll make you proud of your boy like the act 1 finale or a quieter end like the original song? If you want to catch up we discussed the original Seattle production a LOT back in 2011 (25 pages is pretty impressive considering none of us saw the show but then the publicity was much more intense for this as everything was focused on 3 weeks, now it's a slower build to Broadway, I guess they don't want to peak publicity too soon) [url]http://aladdincentral.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4495[/url] More recent Broadway discussion is here [url]http://aladdincentral.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5041[/url] And (shameless plug) I've done a blog following the show since 2011. I still need to do a some catch up pieces on the international productions but there's a lot of coverage of the Seattle production (I even got to interview most of the main cast), the regional productions and of course this new pre-Broadway run!

And wow, I didn't even realize it played in Utah, I thought it had only been in Seattle and then Toronto. Was it the same cast at all? I'm so out of the loop lol. <br /> <br />I wish I was better at describing musical styles but unfortunately all I can tell you is that "Diamond in the Rough" is kind of a quicker song that Jafar and Iago sing in order to convince Aladdin to go with them to the Cave of Wonders. (Al sings a line or two at the end as well.) My favourite part of that performance is how Jafar and Iago are in ~disguise~ at that point, and Iago keeps pulling random props out of his new outfit. At one point he pulls a rose out from nowhere, and runs around with it in his teeth. There's a slower part near the end of the song where Jafar has decided he has to appeal to Aladdin's interest in Jasmine to convince him to go to the Cave with them, and during that part Iago pulls out a violin and starts playing it! That got big laughs both times I saw the show. I also really liked how the scene behind the three of them changed throughout the song - first it was the marketplace, then it looked like the edge of the city, then it was sand dunes, then it was the Cave. A really neat way to show them travelling without them actually moving. <br /> <br />As for the second reprise of "Proud of Your Boy," I am really surprised to find out that is a recent addition because it fit soooo well. I was pretty indifferent to "Proud of Your Boy" before seeing this show, but now I kind of love it, and the reprises especially! The second reprise comes just after the scene where Jasmine and the sultan are all excited that she's finally chosen a suitor. Aladdin had been planning to tell Jasmine the truth at that point but in all the excitement he wasn't able to, and now he's been left alone onstage with the attendants who are putting the sultan's ~royal vestments~ on him. The lyrics in this reprise are basically "I hope you're proud of me, because I don't feel very proud of myself." The only line I remember specifically is "I don't feel taller or smarter or handsome or wise." This was one of my favourite moments in the show, it was really well done.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Chris</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu Nov 21, 2013 3:54 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">You're so lucky!!
