This week we talk to James Monroe Iglehart - the genie from Disney’s Broadway production of Aladdin. We learn how he got the role even though at first he couldn’t get an audition, the biggest obstacle he had to conquer on his way to his dream, and the relationship advice he has for all the husbands out there. That and much, much more. For the week of January 30, 2017 this is episode 117 of The Disney Movie Review.

For the week of January 9, 2017, this is Episode 113 of The Disney Movie Review.
