Sep 2 2011 Lea's Concert at BYU De Jong Concert Hall

I grew up dreaming of playing the role of Aladdin.
Eventually I auditioned for the role at Disney's California Adventure and made final cuts two years in a row but wasn't cast either time, and quit auditioning. But four years later my dream resurfaced.
Lea surprises her audience by inviting a random enthusiastic volunteer to take on the role of Aladdin and join her on stage to sing 'A Whole New World' ...that night SHE PICKED ME!!
I dreamt for 20 years of playing Aladdin(also for many years dreamed of performing alongside Lea Salonga) and couldn't believe my dream was coming true! It was a perfect night.

THANK YOU for watching! I'm so happy this clip is getting so much Youtube Love. DREAM HARD and CHASE HARDER!! -Jared Young @jaredmauga on twitter, instagram
