UK Disney lovers were barely able to contain their delight when the West End premiere for Aladdin was confirmed in mid October, so it's no surprise the future star of the show has caught our eye.

The multi-talented Trevor Dion Nicholas is set to make his London stage debut as the Genie in 2016, after playing the role of understudy on the award-winning Broadway show. Born in West Virginia, Nicholas is an accomplished actor, singer, musician and songwriter - not just in theatreland but as a member of alt indie R&B band Neighborhood Goliath, who released their debut EP Between Satellites and Settling over the summer. We can't wait to be introduced to A Whole New World with this talented individual. Roll on June 2016!
