It's official! Aladdin is going to Broadway next spring! I hope Alan Menken fans who live in the US get the chance to watch it. And I can always hope it will go on a world tour someday... Also I'm can't wait to listen to the new songs!

"I See the Light" didn't win the Golden Globe for best song, but it's nominated for an Oscar. That's Alan Menken's 19th nomination!

I finaly watched Tangled last night. I loved the movie, and I also fell in love with Alan Menken's songs and score! I watched the Greek version of it (no cinema played the original English version anyway) and it was actually good! I think my favourite song was "I See the Light" and I am probably going to watch the movie again soon...!

Disney is bringing "Aladdin" to Broadway! According to an Alan Menken interview, it will include several of the deleted Aladdin songs he wrote with Howard Ashman and later with Tim Rice, as well as a song he wrote himself for "Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular", and a new song he wrote with Chad Beguelin!
I can't wait! It's very unlikely that it will come to Greece someday (although "Beauty and the Beast" did!), but I bet the soundtrack will be stunning!
