The casts of Broadway's LION KING and ALADDIN found themselves with some extra time on their hands when their Orlando-bound flight from New York's LaGuardia Airport was delayed six hours.

The talented casts challenged each other to a sing-off, performing such classics as "Circle of Life" and "Arabian Nights" for their lucky fellow passengers. Check out the video!

LION KING ensemble member Chondra Profit took to Instagram to share a photo of the stranded group (above), posting: #DisneyCousins took a little airport photo. Lion King Broadway and Aladdin Broadway still smiling after being stuck in the airport for 7 hour"

Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions, the show features music by Tony Award and eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, Newsies, Sister Act), lyrics by two-time Oscar winner Howard Ashman (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid), three-time Tony Award and three-time Oscar winner Tim Rice (Evita, Aida) and four-time Tony Award nominee Chad Beguelin (The Wedding Singer), with a book by Beguelin, and is directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Casey Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon).
