For Jonah this is his Agrabah debut, whilst Korie has been with the US Tour from the start as Standby Genie and Sultan. I saw Korie a Sultan in LA and he was fantastic, I'm sure he'll be a truly magical Genie. They join a cast featuring Kaenaonalani Kekoa as Jasmine, Patrick R. Brown as Jafar, Reggie de Leon as Iago, Jerald Vincent as Sultan, Zach Bencal as Babkak, Ben Chavez as Omar, and Colt Prattes as Kassim.

Aladdin opens at the Belk Theater tonight and runs through to September 29th. Tickets are available here.

Make some magic everyone!

Of course, you can't have Aladdin without Aladdin and Genie! So the US Tour will be welcoming Jonah Ho'okano as Aladdin and Korie Lee Blossey as Genie when the Tour hits North Carolina on September 10th! Korie has been with the tour since the beginning as standby Genie and Sultan, we saw Korie as Sultan when the tour was in LA and he was fantastic so the lamp is in great hands.

Can't wait to see you all making magic!!
