INTERVIEW: Marcus M. Martin on Letting the Genie Out of the Lamp for ALADDIN's Final Stop in Costa Mesa

BroadwayWorld talks with Marcus M. Martin about what it's like playing 'Genie' eight shows a week in Aladdin, how he got here (including running on a treadmill while singing 'Friend Like Me' to get in shape for the part), and what's next for the new touring Broadway star. 

Review: DISNEY'S ALADDIN at The Paramount Theatre

If there’s one thing, Dear Readers, that Disney is good at, it’s spectacle. But when you take that spectacle and combine it with one of their most musically magical properties such as “Aladdin”, it should end up with theatrical gold for the whole family. When the genie first poked his head from the lamp on stage back in 2011, I’ll admit it was less than magical. But, by the time it went to Broadway it grew by leaps and bounds. And even now, this tour currently playing at the Paramount, they seem to have updated some of their Disney Imagineering to make the experience even more magical and when combined with a killer cast, just hold on for a good time.
