The cast of Disney's Aladdin, led by Adam Jacobs (Aladdin) and Tony Award winner James Monroe Iglehart (Genie), will perform the show's "Friend Like Me" live from the stage of the New Amsterdam Theatre on ABC's Good Morning America on December 13.

The creative team includes Bob Crowley (scenic design), Gregg Barnes (costume design), Natasha Katz (lighting design), Ken Travis (sound design), Jim Steinmeyer (illusions), Josh Marquette (hair design), Michael Kosarin (music supervisor, vocal and incidental arrangements), Danny Troob (orchestrator), and Glen Kelly (dance music arranger).
