>>107641872This. Theater is a lot more limited in what it can do compared to movies, props and sets imply more than present, and it's up to the performers to make it come alive. The production has only a few dancers and doesn't even have any props for half the shit he's mentioning, but Iglehart knocks it out of the park and you believe every word he says about Prince Ali. Iglehart sounds so fucking hyped to have you meet Ali Ababwa. Smith sounds like he's being forced to sing.
The whole point of the song is the Genie selling you on the prince. I want to meet the guy Iglehart is singing about. I don't give a shit about the guy Smith is trying to introduce.
