Yeukayi told the Daily Echo: "They can expect a night of Broadway-style glitz, glamour and magic with true heart.

"Genie is a character where you have all of this creative license, all of this comedy and all of these iconic songs. Having played Simba in The Lion King, to get to play another iconic Disney character is amazing. There is no way that I was going to pass up this opportunity."
