How often does an airport delay inspire you to break out into song?

For the casts of “Aladdin” and “The Lion King,” a recent six-hour weather-related delay was just the reason for an impromptu sing-off.

The casts happened to be stuck at LaGuardia Airport at the same time. Their answer? No complaining, just a feel-good performance loaded with African chants and Arabian nights.

Passengers gathered for the free concert, singing and clapping along with the performers.

Who knew that a weather delay could be the next best thing to being on Broadway?
