Broadway is Expensive. Times Square is a pain to walk through. Intermission isn't enough time to scarf down that $12 Watered-Down-Mojito which you can't bring to your seat. And that jerk in front of you is going to give a standing ovation to a reading of the telephone book. Why bother? We give you each of your (not so)
favorite Broadway shows, ten minutes at a time.

You win.

Crappy seagull guy wasn't Jafar in Aladdin. Very very english guy was.

The reference has been removed for your further comfort. In the meanwhile, feel free to insert the following line anywhere in the script!

VERY VERY ENGLISH GUY
Somebody stop all this Tarzan and Little Mermaid
bullshit and put Aladdin on the god damned stage.
I can only be of age to reprise my on-cell role
as Jafar for so long!

Who would you cast as the Genie?

I'm thinking John Hodgman, because Eddie Izzard wouldn't actually do it, but Hodgman has already proved himself willing to be the PC.

I would have LOVED to see Eddie Izzard do it, but yeah...he can't be Disney-fide.Maybe Hank Azaria or Roger Bart?
