MICHAEL JAMES SCOTT

Perhaps best known for his record-breaking turn as the Genie in Disney’s Aladdin on Broadway, Scott became the longest-running actor to play the role taking him around the world to earn the Helpmann Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical.
He stars as Nurse Dubois in the ABC revival of the iconic TV series Scrubs and  also steps into the pop-music spotlight with his debut single “Brighter,” a feel-good, high-energy anthem, co-written and produced by Grammy-nominated hitmaker Sean Douglas.
Scott originated the fan-favorite role of the Minstrelin Something Rotten! and Dr. Gotswana (“The Maggots Guy”) in the Tony Award–winning The Book of Mormon. Additional Broadway credits: Mamma Mia!, Tarzan, All Shook Up, The Pirate Queen, Elf, and Hair, where he later brought his talents to the West End as a performer and associate choreographer.
His career spans from Carnegie Hall to major regional theaters and international productions—including the original Las Vegas company of Jersey Boys and Shrek the Musical at The Muny. On screen Credits: Black Monday, The Carrie Diaries, the Tony Awards, Good Morning America, and The Tonight Show.
Michael is the featured voice of Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Wish national campaign,
performing his soaring rendition of the iconic “A Dream Is a Wish.” A Grammy-nominated
Vocalist, he has been a standout member of the critically acclaimed Broadway Boys and Broadway Inspirational Voices, and his voice can be heard across numerous original Broadway cast recordings and studio albums, including The Broadway Boys’ Lullaby of
Broadway.
