Funday Friday: #31--Broadway on Delay

Hey everyone, and welcome to Funday Friday (the name has been reverted to the original to end the nightmare that is remembering what the name is and forgetting the moment the post ends.)
Now, talk about a convient

Picture it: you're at the airport (that is if you go to the airport), and you learn your flight has been delayed, thanks to inclement weather. You're now stuck on the waiting room for hours until it clears up and your flight can finally take off.
Now picture this: the cast of an iconic Broadway musical is also waiting for their flight, and are also stranded.
Now picture this: The cast of another iconic Broadway musical is also stranded and now are waiting for hours as well.
And picture this: When they notice each other, they decide to pass the time...by engaging in an acapella Broadway musical showdown!!!

This really happened, when the casts of legendary Disney musicals from the Great White Way, The Lion King and Aladdin were at LaGuardia Airport in New York. They decided to treat their fellow marooned travelers to a freakin' epic performance of the two classics' beloved songs.
You can tell by this point the lucky bums were enjoying this, and that I damn well envy them.
Here's the eight-minute video:


I wish I flew more (as in more than the zero times I've done so). And that my flight was delayed. And that at the same time a Broadway musical cast also appeared and sang to me and my fellow passengers. Gosh, I wish I had a better life.

Shoutout to the lady who taped the video, Julie L.. You're a lucky duck for this.
Shoutout to Entertainment Weekly for the article, and Andrea Towers for publishing.
Shoutout to Disney for two awesome Broadway musicals. And,
Shoutout to the guy who plays Genie for the nice-ass Tee. I didn't know he was a CM Punk fan! And for those who don't know, CM Punk is a wrestler best known from WWE and Ring of Honor. The GTS stands for "Go To Sleep", his deadly finisher move. This dude also rucks.
Shoutout to CM Punk!
