I love that the musical actors pay tribute to the late actors who voiced their characters, they did the same when we lost Robin Williams, may they both rest in peace

[werthmelissa]

OMG, I felt nostalgic when he pulled out the Aladdin VHS! How nice that he got it autographed!

[mikemudra]

Rip Gilbert he was truly one of the best comedians ever he's up there talking to Robin Williams having some laughs a very sad day in Hollywood and our childhood

[megabsupreme]

What a wonderful eulogy. Thanks to the Aladdin stage cast for sharing this.

[Leanne-offb]

2 of the actors from Aladdin are in heaven together. We will miss you both dearly.
Robin Williams
Gilbert Gottfried

[ADNAL]

When you get a Broadway appreciation like this, you're a real genuine talent that is being appreciated.

This was actually pretty touching. I thought it would just be a bunch of corporate bs but this was surprisingly heartfelt.

[beckykennedy]

RIP Gilbert. You left this world way too soon. I loved you as digit from Cyberchase

[mtiller]

Such a beautiful eulogy and tribute from Don, the stage Iago, to Gilbert, the man who brought Iago to life in the films. RIP Gilbert Gottfried (1955 - 2022)!

That style VHS case is just like the copy of Aladdin my grandma had at her house. I watched it over and over and over every time I was there because it was one of only like 3 kid movies she had. Also because it's awesome of course. I think I unintentionally still have the whole movie memorized over 20 years later

Gilbert Gottfried had one of those distinctive voices. He was a class act and not controversial. I pray he’s laughing in heaven!

[bighuge]

This was very nice. I'm happy they honored Gilbert; possibly one of the finniest and fearless comedians of the modern era.

While it is sad to think of how we have lost two comedic legends tied with Aladdin, it is wonderful to see how the cast continues to be such a positive group and to pay tribute to those who helped to inspire amazing characters.

Gilbert will be missed.

[sharonspears-mandeville]

A wonderful eulogy to/for a wonderful man, he will be missed.

[ericsantana]

I think it's very sweet to honor Gilbert's memory.

Such A Beautiful Tribute To Gilbert Bravo To The Entire Cast And Crew !!!

[abrahamvieyra]

Apparently there were gasps in the audience the moment "on behalf of the Gotfried family" just realized of the Comedian's passion. RIP.

[JasonSmith-vjde]

Probably my favorite line from Aladdin is when Jaffar is laughing and Iago tells him to get a grip. Jaffar grabs his neck and Iago says good grip.
