The Magic of Playing Genie from Aladdin on Broadway

As an attendant and part of 'Palace Walls' with Jasmine, I've had the privilege of being the fortune teller sometimes, and it's a lot of fun! I get to be silly, sing solo lines, and put myself out there in a different way. One of my favorite lyrics is from the beginning of 'A Whole New World', where Aladdin says, 'You must feel trapped inside these walls / We'll run away just you and me / Why not escape as evening falls? / There's a whole world you've yet to see.' There's something about it that's just so romantic.

As an entertainer, I've had the opportunity to be part of many memorable moments on Broadway. However, one show moment that stands out in my mind is the beginning of 'Arabian Nights', where we have a choreography section with silks. It's truly beautiful and gets me every time. Being part of Disney's Aladdin has been an incredible experience, and I feel fortunate to be able to bring magic to audiences every night.

As Genie from Aladdin on Broadway, I've had the chance to make many unforgettable memories. One of my favorite moments was during the show preview in Toronto, when we all put on our costumes for the first time. It was like a dream come true to see everyone dressed up in those gorgeous Arabian nights costumes. We were all just anticipating being in the theater and seeing everyone look so stunning.

When I'm not granting wishes as Genie, you can find me watching my favorite TV shows or enjoying the great outdoors. One of my favorite shows is 'Good Morning America', which is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News.

As for what was the first show I saw on Broadway, it's a memory that I treasure to this day. It was an experience that made me realize how incredible live theater can be, and it inspired me to pursue my passion for performing.

With Sonya Balsara taking over as Jasmine in Aladdin on Broadway beginning January 19 at the New Amsterdam Theatre, I'm excited to see what new magic she brings to the role. And as for me, I'll continue to grant wishes and make memories with audiences as the new Genie from Aladdin on Broadway, starting February 15.
