James Monroe Iglehart as Genie, Photo by Cylla Von Tiedemann |
Has it really been a year?! On this day in 2014 James Monroe Iglehart took to the stage at the Radio City Music Hall to accept the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical for his portrayal of the Genie in Aladdin. His speech, like the man himself, was passionate and definitely memorable;
If you've ever seen James bring Genie to life then you know the award was well deserved. Winning the Tony may have been a dream come true for James but he continues to make peoples wishes come true every night at the New Amsterdam Theatre.
Congratulations again James, keep making that magic!
And in case you missed it (or just wanted to see it again) here's James, Adam Jacobs and the cast of Broadway's Aladdin performing "Friend Like Me" on the 2014 Tony Awards!
