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've seen another report somewhere, and she said because he was taller than her he was singing right into her forehead mic (very loudly), so they couldn't just turn her voice up. Although I presume they could have mic-ed her differently? I can see why theatres wouldn't want to lose this as a test case!

This is an interview watch after reading that Are we sure she didn't just damage her voice with that peculiar singing through fixed smile technique? I'm not a singer but it looks very odd to me.

In circumstances like that, where 2 mic'ed singers are close, often sound will use just one mic. So likely sound would have used just her mic with his vocal amplified through hers off axis.

Does anyone know what happened to the filmed version of this?

She could totally take on Disney if she can prove medically that she damaged her voice together with evidence that the company manager failed to act on any concerns documented. Be interesting to see the outcome.

She’s always had a voice like a foghorn.

It’s not really the sort of thing you’d take a chance on is it? She must be quite confident of winning.

It’s Croke I feel sorry for. There’s clearly No love lost there, but it is embarrassing for him.
I don’t remember her being especially bad in it (not as bad as the original Broadway Jasmine) but Twitter has quite a few people saying how terrible she was in the show.
She can’t expect to work in musicals again after doing this.

Quite likely - the worst leading lady performance I've seen, and I saw Bat Out Of Hell...

Does anyone know what happened to the filmed version of this? It’s the 30th anniversary of the animated movie later this year. My best guess is that they’re saving it to coincide with that. If that doesn’t happen then I have no clue when they’re going to release it

Was she in the filmed version? Perhaps that’s why it never been released..?

I loved the production when it was out a few years ago.

I wonder if this is based on the upcoming US tour which can accommodate smaller venues or the first US tour?

Strange Jade got casts if there has been comments about the quality of her voice for MT. I think she had only ever done one other show possibly Tonight's the Night before getting Aladdin.
It would be popular if it toured and could do large city theatres on initial tour so no need to downscale show really unless they have less ensemble.

Disney would want to bring the show to the highest number of venues, and could save a lot of money with a smaller set, a smaller cast and half the musicians. The Lion King tour sells out daily, and it still has a reduced set and band. Same with the Beauty and the Beast tour.

The difference is in the UK we have panto, if they downsize the staging too much then its going to draw comparisons and questions why they charging so much for basically a panto. The Lion King also isn't downsized to a noticeable extent.
If the US is going to get a downsized production then its possible the UK will get the orginal US touring set.

They will build a tour set for the UK, not ship the US over.

I don’t think they would want to compromise the production quality just so it could fit into more venues. The current Beauty and the Beast tour has only been able to ‘fit’ into larger venues. People expect a certain standard from Disney so they’ll make it as big as they can.

I expect Aladdin will more akin to the first Wicked tour or the second Mary Poppins tour which went a lot more places compared to The Lion King which really can go to the bigger venues.
We'll get an idea what the UK will be getting when the new US tour opens in October.

Beauty and the Beast is certainly playing the bigger venues this time as the show had got smaller on tour since it's Dominion days. Shows usually do the big City theatres and then look at going to secondary venues on later tours.
