Major Attaway, the current Genie, joins forces with the Genie Standbys, Juwan Crawley and Deonté L. Warren, in an eclectic trio show in which a Bass, a Mezzo, and a Tenor join together on stage and magic happens. These three talents bring together an eclectic set of Disney classics, theater showstoppers and pop hits by Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston and Luther Vandross. The show is directed by Daniel Dunlow, and features music direction by Eric Fotre Leach.
Major Attaway is currently starring at the Genie in Broadway's Aladdin, after making his Broadway debut as standby for Tony winner James Monroe Iglehart, who originated the role. Attaway's regional credits include Ragtime, Big River, Hands on a Hardbody, Little Shop of Horrors, and Rent. He's performed as a soloist with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra and has lent his vocal talents to commercials.
Juwan Crawley, who has been a standby for both Babkak and The Genie in Broadway's production of Aladdin, is currently the standby for Major Attaway. He earned the role at age 22, making him the youngest Genie in Broadway history. He earned a Clive Barnes Award nomination for his performance in the original cast of the popular satire Spamilton and recently made his debut at New York's Feinstein's/54 Below. A composer, lyricist and songwriting as well as a singer, he also recently produced his debut EP, Awakenings (Mind).
DEONTÉ L. WARREN, a veteran of the national and international tours of Dreamgirls and Sister Act, as well as regional productions of Shrek, Disney's Tarzan, Hairspray and Smoky Joe's Café, joined the cast of Broadway's Aladdin as a standby for the Genie, Babkak and the Sultan. He also recently made his NY solo debut at Feinstein's/54 Below.
