Lea, who did the singing voice of Princess Jasmine was present with Brad Kane who was Aladdin’s singing voice, as well as the Scott Weinger and Linda Larkin who did the speaking voices of the characters, and Jonathan Freeman, the voice behind Jafar.

Both Salonga’s and Kane’s careers extended past “Aladdin” into Broadway and other parts of show biz.

“I just wanted that very romantic feeling of a flight over the city”, Menken said of his experience in writing the instantly recognizable song.

It was the first time Salonga and Kane shared the stage to reprise the duet since their appearance at the 1993 Academy Awards, wherein the Disney Ballad won “Best Original Song”. The the eight-time Oscar victor said it’s a favorite at weddings.
