The majority of the leads seem be from the Broadway production hence the 'Broadway Musical' in the title. Ainsley was the Australian Aladdin and then transferred to Broadway. Rob Tripolino (Omar) was Oz too.

Weirdly enough, this is the cast that was filmed. The Aladdin here looks more young than the advertised poster?? He does. Perhaps we’ve mistaken a different mid 40’s character for the actual Aladdin. I repent. Or Disney did a really bad job at touching up the promo images and made Aladdin look like his dad.

so when is this actually out? I thought it was September, but we're running out of September...
Also did anyone else inadvertently cringe when they saw that cast squashed together and hugging each other? My brain has been rewired!

How can 2020 be a time of embracing inclusivity and black lives matter and ageist comments like this are not acknowledged? I’d say that Disney and the entire creative team have NO issue with the casting. They had hundreds of guys they could have used. In a week when a cast member I know from a show I did killed himself.... BE KIND.

“This show has the worst wigs I’ve ever seen on stage in my life, the WORST set, and is the cheapest looking thing I think I’ve ever seen. Miscast, badly directed and DREADFUL”
...or maybe the overwhelming kindness of this? Pot, Kettle, Black Marjorie! There’s no sliding scale for what causes most offence...ageism, racism, sexism, slagging off someones hard work, accusations of miscasting. They are all damaging and I apologise if it caused anyone, including the actors involved, offence and I will perhaps choose my words more carefully in future. What will you do?

It was filmed at the Prince Edward with the London ensemble but with leads from various productions across the world. Off the top of my head they used the US tour Jasmine, Aussie Aladdin and London Genie.

Yep, people from different countries performing in a musical together! Absolutely ghastly!!!

That’s from her own lack of training and technique. Can’t believe she thinks she’s gonna win anything from this.

Would this happen in a west end full amplified show.
Based on the times when mics have not been on (recently Camelot) the singers voice barely reach the front row . Wouldn't the sound mixer sort out voice levels. Hard to imagine she would have to sing so loud to offset the sound system.

I think it means she had to sing louder to hear herself because he was bellowing in her lughole.
Still a silly claim.

It is very difficult to prove this sort of claim. Indeed essentially impossible to demonstrate a direct causal link.
She must have deep pockets ready to pay legal bills.
Disney won't settle this sort of claim

No chance of winning. It would set a landmark precedent. Every single performer who was in a major show and subsequently has had voice problems will be looking to sue their ex-employer. Even if they haven't, they could claim their voice "quality" was hurt by it, leading to loss of earnings from not being cast in shows afterwards.
As poster above states, Disney won't settle for the same reason as above - people will view it as an opportunity for a quick payday.
I feel bad for her and I'm sure she has a point, but it isn't a viable case for legal relief.

I wonder why she thought this lawsuit was worth ruining her career for? Surely nobody will hire her after this.
Looks like her, Seyi Oomba, and that one gal who broke her Dreamgirls contract to go on Love Island will have to start a girl group.
