NEW YORK, NY - The broadway casts of Aladdin and Lion King broke out in song and a friendly sing-off at LaGuardia Airport during a six-hour flight delay to Orlando on Sunday.

A video of the casts singing was posted on Facebook and YouTube on Thursday and quickly became a top Facebook trend.

"When the cast of The Lion King - Musical and Aladdin - The Musical come together, magic happens," was posted on The Lion King's Facebook page with the video.

Love!

Broadway-nerd Fun Fact: Adam, the guy who plays Aladdin, used to also play Simba.  I kept wondering if I would see him in both groups, but no, he's just standing in the back right of the Aladdin group.  But he was posting some FB pics of him with the Lion King people on this trip, too, so at least we know they all get along!

I've had at least 2 chances to see Lion King and missed both. *kicks rocks*

I saw the Lion King years ago in Toronto when I was 17. I'd love to see it again. It made quite an impression on me.

I love him. He was great in Aladdin. after the show we waited by the stage door and was in a hurry so didn't stop for autographs, but saw DD and her friend and thought they were so cute that he stopped to talk to them and take a picture.

BTW, how come nothing like this ever happens when I'm at the airport?

[LLL]

Wow. Aladdin didn't stand a chance

[wawa]

Lion King destroyed Aladdin. Is the big guy up front the Genie?

Also, I never once cried watching the movie but I shed tears like woah when I saw Lion King on Broadway.

I saw it in London and had the same reaction. I cried through the whole thing, from the moment it started. I wasn't expecting that reaction!

Aw, I'm so glad that happened for them!  What a memory!

He was an awesome guy when we were in college together - exactly the kind of person you're happy to see succeed.

While watching I kept thinking "They get paid to do this. This is their job. How fvcking cool is that? I want to be that cool."
