“To Be Free”, Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular.
A new song was written for the theme park stage version of Disney’s Aladdin, “To Be Free” was to be Jasmine’s ‘I want’ song. In which she sings about freedom to her birds (think Nicole Kidman’s 'Someday I’ll Fly Away’ from Moulin Rouge). It is rumoured to have been expanded and included in the upcoming Broadway version that is going to be tested out in Denver.
This song, in my opinion, joins the ranks of Quasimodo’s “Out There” and Ariel’s “Part of That World” as great Disney I-want songs about escape and freedom.
