Fresh off of Broadway's Aladdin, Brad Weinstock (Wicked, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Jersey Boys) sits down with David to share his love of the Disney world in this episode focused on friendship. The conversation begins very Aladdin-focused as Brad just ended his Broadway run in the show, or as he called it, going to "Agrabah University." The film was incredibly present in Brad's childhood, and he shares his love of the story and specifically Robin Williams' Genie. During the episode Brad discusses many of his favorite Disney characters from The Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty, as well as Wall-E and The Rescuers Down Under. A self-proclaimed "Donald at Heart," Brad loves the Disney Theme Parks, and emphasizes how magical the Parks are--an ultimate "Theme Dream" and an incredible place in which to escape. Listen to Brad share his excitment for "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Rise of the Resistance" before playing Disney Jeopardy. What was it like working on Broadway with Jonathan Freeman, the OG Jafar? Listen to find out!
