I'm pretty sure that was a given. But, it's great news it's official!

I have seen a picture of Laura and her husband, Nate, in their Aladdin costumes, and yes, she looked very cute! Now really, can you picture her NOT cute? Ha. But I agree, she would be great in the role, but I'm biased and think she'd be great in anything. Can't wait for her to win that Tony someday!!!!

Has anyone ever thought that maybe Scott was just referring that Aladdin is coming to Broadway and he starred in a tryout production of it? If you see below, it says Liana Hunt (Mamma Mia!,Newsies) will be Jasmine and Kellen Stancil (The Lion King) will be Aladdin in the Broadway production. I'm not sure about this but it makes sense because they have worked/working with Disney shows on Broadway.

It seems as if Andrew Keenan-Bolger will not be reprising the role of Omar. He has been cast in the limited Off-Broadway engagement of Family Furniture this November.

As much as I had wished for him to be in it, I had a feeling in my gut he wouldn't be.

Can someone 'in the know' please save me the heart attack and PM me whether Freeman is involved? I don't want to break anything tomorrow. Might as well get it all over with tonight, LOL.

"Disney Theatrical Productions announced a cast of 34 actors on Monday for its next Broadway musical, “Aladdin,” led by the theater actor Adam Jacobs (Marius in the 2006 Broadway revival of “Les Misérables”) in the title role.
Based on the 1992 musical film by Disney, “Aladdin” will also star James Monroe Iglehart (“Memphis”) as the Genie, Courtney Reed (“In the Heights”) as Jasmine, and Tony Award nominee Jonathan Freeman (“She Loves Me”) as the villainous Jafar. Mr. Freeman was the voice of Jafar in the original Disney movie, which starred Robin Williams as the voice of the Genie."

I'm pleased to see Courtney Reed staying with the cast. I saw her in ITH as Nina and really enjoyed her voice. Glad that James Monroe Iglehort did get the role of th Genie. I loved what I sawf him.

So excited for Freeman, Jacobs, Iglehart, and Reed. Freeman, especially, since he voiced Jafar in the film. I can't wait.

Mr. Freeman might not have been the first Disney voice actor to originate a role they previously did in the film for a stage production. Paige O'Hara was offered to originate the role of Belle in 'Beauty and the Beast' on Broadway, but turned it down.
Quote:
Mary Costa, the original voice of Sleeping Beauty, is a great fan of Paige’s and was disappointed that Paige didn’t sing in the Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast, which I shared with Paige. As Paige explained, she had already signed a contract to star in South Pacific in Australia for fourteen months and they were paying her a lot of money and it was security. She also explained that she felt the role of Belle was for a seventeen year old girl and she was older, so when Jeffrey Katzenberg called to offer her the role, she turned it down. She had discussed trying to get out of her contract with Michael but they really didn’t know how successful the play would be as this was the first Disney Broadway show. “In retrospect, I probably should have done it but I think it was meant for a reason….. I might have joined some of the touring companies later on but we were trying to have a baby and the fertility drugs made me blow up in weight."
