Original cast members Lea Salonga (Jasmine) and Brad Kane (Aladdin) don’t look anything like their cartoon alter-egos, but they sound just as beautiful as ever, with eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken accompanying them on the piano. Menken describes how he knew the song, which has been a wedding favorite, would be perfect for the “magic carpet ride trip.” The performance coincides with the release of the _Aladdin Diamond Edition,_ out October 13.
