Original Broadway Stars Reunite for Broadway in the West End
It's a Broadway cast reunion! Aladdin's original Broadway cast members Courtney Reed, Marisha Wallace, and Brandon O'Neill (!!) are joining together with Danny Becker, Greg Canestrari, Haley Catherine, Francesca Fenech, Ayanna Coleman Potempa, and more for the Broadway on the West End Benefit Cabaret! It's a show hosted and created Johnson Brock and Brock Harris with all proceeds from the event going to MAD Trust, Industry Minds, and JDRF!
Courtney is, of course, Broadway's original Jasmine and is currently back on the magic carpet and bringing Disney royalty to life in the West End production until it closes next weekend. I've still not come to terms with the show closing here, but Courtney being here for that end fills me with joy.
Marisha is Aladdin's original Fortune Teller and Royal Attendant turned West End super star where she's currently starring in Waitress. And yes, that was totally her reprising her "Still I think he's rather tasty" line on the big screen in Aladdin!
And Brandon is the original Kassim! I guess that makes this his West End debut!
The special cabaret event takes place at the Pianoworks next Wednesday evening, August 21st, and right now you can get £30 tickets for just £10 using the code ALLAMERICAN at TicketSource!
This is going to be an amazing night, so don't miss out! If it wasn't in the middle of the week (or if I lived closer) I'd be there in heart beat! Have an amazing time everyone!
