A Whole New World of fun with the Genie and Aladdin in the studio!

It’s been a hit since it landed in Melbourne, and Aladdin the Musical isn’t planning on slowing down!

Cast members Michael James Scott (Genie) and Ainsley Melham (Aladdin) granted our wishes, hopping on a magic carpet and popped by MAD Wednesday for a chat with Michael and Dean between their matinee and evening show.

It was such a joy to have them in the studio as we talked about talking on the roles of this iconic stage recreation of Disney’s Aladdin plus learning about their pre stage shenanigans. If just a snippet of the energy they have in this podcast is anything to go by then the show is just electric!

Aladdin is the must-see show of the year and “Broadway’s biggest new hit!” (Entertainment Weekly).

From the producer of The Lion King and Mary Poppins, the beloved story of Aladdin comes to thrilling theatrical life in this bold new musical comedy. The New York Times says it’s “Fabulous!” and “Extravagant!” and USA Today calls it “Pure Genie-us!” With exhilarating choreography, show-stopping production numbers and astonishing visual effects, Disney’s Aladdin is, as NBC-TV declares, “Exactly what you wished for!”
