How are the new Aladdin, Joshua Dela Cruz, and the new Genie, Major Attaway?

FYI...this isn't a show that ever seemed to garner a huge following here...lots saw it, but I'm not sure how much repeat visitors are here.

My second viewing of the show was a year ago almost to the date in March 2016 and they both happened to be on. It was Major's debut show and although I was initially upset about Iglehart being out, Major absolutely blew it out of the water. He was SO wonderful and later in the day when I found out it was his first show I was shocked and also honored to see it!  He hit all of the main marks that Iglehart inventively created, but also made the part his own.  Dela Cruz was also great- technically sound and gave a strong performance, but seemed a little nervous which lent to lacking star quality. I am sure he has grown so much since and is great. Would love to go back and check it out this year.
