As previously announced, Aladdin star Michael James Scott has joined the team of Broadway.com’s popular daily live news show #LiveatFive to host a weekly roundtable discussion with theater stars.

Hamilton is a long-standing member of The Lion King on Broadway, having played the in-charge hyena Shenzi for 15 years. In 2012, she appeared in the starry one-night benefit Barack on Broadway.

Prior to the Broadway shutdown that forced Frozen to announce it had played its final performance, Ricketts was seen on stage as Kristoff. He was part of the ensemble in the original Broadway company before taking over the featured role in 2019. Before Frozen, Ricketts was seen in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical in both the Broadway and national tour productions.
