Scott rubbed the Genie's lamp and his wish came true! Michael James Scott has become a household name in the world of Broadway. He’s known for his incredible talent, energy, and versatility and is best recognized for his portrayal of the Genie in Disney’sAladdin.

Michael originated the role of the Genie in the Australian production, which opened in Sydney in August 2016.

Fun fact - Michael holds the record for the longest running Genie!
