Bigger. Stronger. Fiercer. Michael James Scott is Back as Broadway's Genie!

 

Whilst we'll have to wait a little longer for the full cast announcement, Good Morning America revealed this morning that Michael James Scott will be returning once more as the Genie when Aladdin reopens on Broadway this September!

Appearing in GMA's first in person interview since the pandemic began (!) Michael and The Lion King's L. Steven Taylor discussed how they felt learning Broadway was coming back, what it means for them, Disney's Double the Magic offer, and bringing the light of Broadway back to NYC.

The magic is back everyone!!

Good Morning 2016!

What a way to start the year!

Last week the casts of Broadway's Aladdin and The Lion King appeared on Good Morning America in an epic sing off inspired by their airport sing off last year.

Ok, I'm bias but I'm voting Aladdin  ;-P

Seriously though, both casts are amazing and here's Adam Jacobs talking with Good Morning America about how the original sing off came about!

Seeing this reminds me how much I'd love to get back to New York and see this amazing cast again!
