Major Attaway To Join The 2023 Musical Writers Festival As Special Guest

Broadway's Major Attaway will be joining The 2023 Musical Writers Festival as the special guest at this year's event on Friday, July 14, through Saturday, July 15. Major Attaway is widely recognized for his exceptional performance as the Genie in Disney's Aladdin on Broadway, where he held the role from 2017 to 2020, becoming the longest-running Broadway Genie with over 1500 performances.

Returning to his hometown of Fort Worth, Major Attaway will captivate the audience with his extraordinary talent during the Friday evening New Works Cabaret and the Saturday evening New Musical Spotlights, where he will perform songs from brand new musicals.

"We are super excited to have Major Attaway join us at the Musical Writers Festival," said Holly Reed, CEO of MusicalWriters.com and writer of True North, a musical that Major Attaway has been involved with in recent years. "Working with Major on True North has been a joy. His comedy chops, warm personality, and that butter voice are a combination you don't often find. And he keeps us in stitches from first page to last."

Major Attaway's passion for the creation and development of new musical works is evident through his participation in various developmental workshops. He has contributed his talent and expertise to projects such as The Preacher's Wife with Tituss Burgess, Queen of Versailles with Kristin Chenoweth and Stephen Schwartz, True North by Holly and Kelvin Reed, Golden by John Hodges and Geordy Wells, and many more.

This is a unique opportunity for musical writers, producers, directors, and creators of theater to have their work performed by Major Attaway.
