He played him as familiarly psychotic in the 5th Avenue Theater production in Seattle in what looks to be an equally hard costume, but it looks like Jafar was changed in the Broadway production to be more subtle. If anything, Mr. Freeman has a harder task of still making a splash with the slightly quieter Jafar. I saw Aladdin on Broadway on opening weekend, and from what I saw, thought Mr. Freeman did an excellent job in physicalizing Jafar, particularly with his hand movements and varying posture. Stiff to me is like a soldier, or a king, and he resembled neither.
