The film version cut a conceived intro for the song and two extra verses in the middle of "Prince Ali".
Soundtrack.net explains how "Prince Ali (reprise)" was conceived: "Humiliate the Boy" was the last song that Ashman wrote with Menken before he passed away.
An early reprise of the song in the stage musical has the Sultan announcing to the city's residents that his daughter Jasmine is to marry the prince.
[citation needed] AllMusic wrote "Robin Williams' bravura performance as the magic lamp on songs such as "Friend Like Me" and "Prince Ali" are justifiably credited as the album's highlights.
"[2] Director/choreographer of the stage musical, Casey Nicholaw said that "'Prince Ali', too, is a huge production number 'where the dancers wear four costumes each'".
