A Whole New World - Lea Salonga with Audience Member (Me!) [Ridgefield Playhouse 5/12/19]

A dream come true! Story below. Song begins at 03:01. I had the chance to be an honorary Disney prince for 5 minutes and share the stage with Broadway legend Lea Salonga (the original singing voice for Princess Jasmine and Mulan)! My wife and I went to see her perform in Ridgefield, CT and were lucky enough to exchange our back row tickets for much closer seats that had freed up. When Lea asked for a volunteer, I yelled "I'll do it!" then filled the stunned silence that followed with "Do you trust me?" (like Aladdin asks Jasmine). Luckily she has a great sense of humor and responded with "Get up here!" It meant so much to sing this song in honor of my late mother on Mother’s Day - she adored Lea. I'm still in disbelief that this actually happened (and probably always will be), but the video proof is here thanks to my amazing wife! #leasalonga #aladdin #awholenewworld #jasmine #humanhearttour #disney #ridgefieldplayhouse
