The cast of Aladdin must be proud of their boy today as last night James Monroe Iglehart took home the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical for his portrayal of Genie in Aladdin!!

You can watch the Awards in full, including the red carpet arrivals, at Theater Mania and I've embedded the Awards ceremony below (JMI's award starts just before the 7 minute mark);



I just want to say a massive congratulations to James on this well deserved reward, it couldn't have gone to a nicer guy.  You put your heart and soul into this role every night, you've totally earned this.  So happy for you.
