His voice is so satisfying

[@holdtrue2021]

He is such a GREAT Genie next to the legend Robin Williams

[@simonedeacon2051]

[@luf4rall]

He's a voice actor too

[@EugeA524]

[@dr.robotnick1888]

Lucky for you he had some roles in Anime Dubbing

[@hannahmaker665]

"nerves do exist, but they don't stop you from doing something." That is the kind of advice I need sometimes!!!

[@jacobmullins6533]

HIS 👏 VOICE 👏

[@simonefernandez6990]

wow, his voice is so soothing, he's an amazing genie

[@TheKellaLand]

His voice is amazing. The part when he says he is humbled is so genuine. He has an honest and fun demeanor about him. Really great video. =)

[@dan-ball-z5656]

kella lynn yeah, he's great and he deserves to be casted as the genie! (James will forever the the best tho)

[@manuelorozco7760]

Sasooh That really surprised me

[@kaiabrushaber8058]

it honestly made me so happy and satisfied when he did that 😂

[@kstreet]

Cristine would love him

[@margiepuck285]

This guy has THE MOST soothing voice!

[@brandonm6769]

Oh god the glitter. Never noticed it before.

[@tannerschannel1809]

He’s now playing the role in the touring company of Aladdin! I saw his first performance in Arizona last week! He was amazing and hilarious! Got to meet him and he signed my genie lamp! He was a cool guy

[@manuelorozco7760]

Tanner's Channel I saw him yestersay in Costa Mesa. I strongly agree about the guy

[@pizzahutiysdeas]

HIS VOICE

[@ipizzippy]

I want to be covered in glitter too.

[@johnrichey7494]

His genie is one of the most electrifying performances I’ve ever seen.

[@gavinclarkvlogs3822]

Just would like to point out I did theatre with him in Cleburne Texas, so proud and he’s so awesome in the show

[@mblu642]

I went to your play today and it was wonderful. I also loved the Wakanda thing from the Black Panther in the play. Keep doing what you do best. May 19,2018

[@candeladiaz3107]

Ultra Instinct Myles Oh yes!!the wakanda reference was the best thing ever

[@manuelorozco7760]

Ultra Instinct Myles He did that same joke yesterday in Costa Mesa

[@famouskphantom]

I love these character studies. Such a wonderful way to bring the audience into the headspace of a broadway actor.

[@pinkmmlover]

Yay, thank you so much for making a character study for the Genie!!!

[@laurenconrad1799]

I just saw him today as the Genie. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a dramatic transformation. In this character study the guy is as chill as Bhudda. But as the Genie, he acts like he just had three red bull. That’s pretty incredible acting-wise.

[@CarolineCP]

What a lovely man he is!

[@talulahsafir]

He is so sweet and lovely wow

[@eljordinio7647]

I saw Major perform on Broadway two months ago and he was just incredible. The Genie steals the show no matter where it is or who's playing him, and Major is no exception. I've often wondered how that scarf/cape he wears at the start fits together. It looks like a single cape when Genie turns around but then it splits into two when it comes off Man I wish I had that Arabian Nights outfit, especially with the cape. Really makes the look complete imo

[@zentunsaringkran5517]

I could put this on loop and baby, Major will get me sleepin’. Amazing Unintentional Asmr

[@hayleyhjw]

Yassss that warmup is literally me

[@Hannahcheg]

I saw this while in previews. It was my first broadway show! Amazing! Also I love his holo sparkles

[@cynthiahms]

What a handsome man! And his voice is mesmerizing ♥️♥️♥️

[@itzblu855]

Isn’t James who played the genie in the original cast In Hamilton now?

[@ordainedbunion]

Yes and I saw him in it--- he was absolutely fantastic. He really made it his own!

[@sheikhnafismuhtade5250]

Yes

[@jschaeffer3440]

Yes! I actually saw him in Hamilton and met him at the stage door!

[@manuelorozco7760]

ItzBlu I see him as Lance on the Tangled show

[@tessacalef8669]

Yes! I saw him in April! I met him at the stage door

[@deenice_143]

Loved seeing him as the Genie! Such a beautiful show and performances. Made me emotional lol

[@lyricals7272]

Hes voice reminds me of ASMR, I dont like asmr that much because it annoys me, but his voice, I LOVE IT

[@sheriseletticia9332]

He was amazing when I seen Aladdin in LA , he killed it !!

[@rainyday6512]

“The genie has a big heart” *So do you*

[@lilipopcak4945]

I want him to like do the voiceover of Planet Earth,his voice is like so calming

[@isabellateeter4745]

He’s humble and comfadent

[@RealAngelOfMusic]

can this guy please record audio books? his voice is so soothing

[@aifayashajaganshi]

He voice is so relaxing. I wish he would do a guided meditation.

[@smartguy458]

I love the Genie's makeup. I would like to replicate it on myself someday.

[@kale9113]

Going to see Aladdin in October

[@sleepdeprivation8390]

Cael Sullivan I hope you enjoy it!

[@broadwayisbest2.0formerbab62]

Cael Sullivan I say it in may for my birthday you are going to have the time of your life it...is....AMAZING

[@manuelorozco7760]

Leac I went to the show in Costa Mesa. Spectacular show. Like the profile picture of Suite Life by the way

[@lindsrosey2980]

I do the same thing when I'm in shows, I just do all kinds of weird dances in the mirror! Haha! He's so amazing, I so wish I could see this show.

[@blakelewisfilms]

He made the show for me!!!

[@MABACTS]

I love these!

[@eljordinio7647]

I saw Major as genie in January. He was amazing! And really nice at stage door too My favorite outfit is the Arabian Nights one he wears at the start. Wish they focused more on the scarf/cape he has cos I'm pretty keen on seeing how it fits together. Like it appears to be one cape when seen from behind but then it splits into two when someone takes it off him In my opinion the scarf/cape really makes the whole outfit complete for me

[@CrazyCartoonCat12]

He should do audiobooks, I'd be having sweet dreams for at least 10,000 years.😍

[@mingsong]

That’s a lot of workout. I really admire him for this level of dedication. Especially for people carry extra weight, it’s quite hard on the joints.

[@manuelorozco7760]

Ming Song If Disney adapts Brother Bear for Broadway and this guy plays Tug, his weight will be a big joke. No insult intended

[@MSadamgasm]

His voice gives me ASMR oh my god Smooth like butter

[@cherylsingleton3357]

I cant wait to see Major Attaway on stage this coming Wednesday. I promise to be on time.

[@brennag7378]

It’s been two years and I still can’t get over how cute the thumbnail is

[@mathildamarigold2911]

knew him when he was at Casa Mañana in FWTX! always such a kind and sweet man.

[@officialbroadwaylukesonnan6987]

“Teach you life lessons.” Teach me how to love Aladdin! Lol!

[@hermonylee6123]

saw his show in West End, he's amazing!!!

[@simonedeacon2051]

Im playing the Genie in my local theatre i have to live up to his crazy awesome energy and charisma. Watching him just tell me not to be nervous just lifted a huge weight!

[@manuelorozco7760]

I just saw Major in the national tour in Costa Mesa yesterday. Hes a true scene stealer as the Genie. Especially with his bits of ab lipping

[@aderiusscott2220]

Seen him Sunday night here in Dallas Tx the crowd was amazing for him since he's from the area.. He was so excited for the last show you could tell..

[@manuelorozco7760]

Aderius Scott That’s awesome. I got family who live down there in the Dallas area.

[@aderiusscott2220]

@@manuelorozco7760 nice... this is the 2nd time the tour has come thru... I can't wait until the once on this island and the spongebob the musical come..

[@manuelorozco7760]

Aderius Scott Let me know how Spongebob is please! The next show I plan to see is Anastasia.

[@aderiusscott2220]

@@manuelorozco7760 lucky...

[@AforAwesome3604]

My dance school did Aladdin and I got to be genie and it was a lot of fun but you better believe that when he says get your cardio, GET YOUR CARDIO. It is a very dance heavy show and you have to keep energy up through the whole thing. It is so much fun but also a lot of work.

[@taylorered6874]

This guy had me in a trance seen live,

[@jamiemaybe]

Ooooo so fierce tbh

[@abialston8476]

THOSE COSTUMES THO

[@eljordinio7647]

Especially the first one with the cape. Man I wish I had a cape like that

[@jade5896]

His voice is like if caramel was poured I to somebody’s throat and just encased itself around somebody’s vocal chords

[@kmrf27]

Uuuuuuuurg his voice his voice I can't🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 so dreamy

[@snottiestpluto7576]

[@katewolcott]

[@kayno9167]

He’s so amazing!! I love his voice and he makes the look so amazing. I wonder how a gay loud fem man would pull genie off!

[@christinaskaggs9689]

Please do a character study with Arielle Jacobs when she becomes Jasmine on Broadway!

[@amedilen]

this is asmr

[@chris-qs4rp]

OMG MY SIS SAW HIM BC my sis is going to perform in alladin and my sis got to talk to him

[@eljordinio7647]

Ur joking! Good on ur sis!

[@obakesekai]

HEY! IT’S QUEEN FROM ONE PIECE!

[@parkerpattillo]

He should have played Genie in the live action film

[@manuelorozco7760]

Parker Pattillo I actually liked Will Smith’s spin on the character. But I don’t blame you. The remake would have been even more entertaining if Disney used most or all the Broadway songs. But Jasmines song Speechless was forgiving.

[@eljordinio7647]

Can we give will Smith a break pls? He did a great job in the film, tho I do agree it would have been nice to see some Broadway talent in the movie Also they should have included some of the songs from the musical in it

[@zachlabbadia]

They actually apply the microphone to his goatee instead of over the ear

[@djnvision]

Most broadway shows actually go in on the hairline (obviously he's bald so you can't really do much

[@Menhtrol]

Looks better than Will Smith as the Genie that's for sure

[@oliviasingsandmore471]

First! Well, early

[@cassandrafaithstrand9372]

I miss James 😥

[@kkstar1297]

I MISS JAMES MONROE IGLEHART!

[@MrStars-bj9yf]

kkstar 12 if you want to see him you can go see Hercules and Hamilton. Most actors move on and so does James
