Sherri Shepherd, Emmy-winning talk show host, is stepping into the spotlight as the Genie in Broadway’s “Aladdin,” bringing her signature energy from October 16 through January 3. Never one to shy away from a challenge, she’s diving headfirst into dance and vocal training, even practicing “Friend Like Me” on her walks. This bold move—her first major Broadway role since playing the Stepmother in “Cinderella” in 2014—reflects her lifelong love of theater and mission to inspire young audiences, especially girls, to dream big. With advice from Broadway legends like Kristin Chenoweth and Wayne Brady, Shepherd’s journey proves that if it scares you, say yes—and magic happens.
