Broadway’s Michael James Scott on playing with Barbies, his champagne dream diet & the inability to “sit my booty down”
Aladdin, every night is “A Whole New World” for actor Michael James Scott. With nine Broadway credits to his name, Scott is living the dream at the New Amsterdam Theatre, where each show is just a wee bit different thanks to the actor’s sharp improvisational skills with the audience.
If eight shows per week weren’t enough, Scott is jet-setting to the West Coast this week to co-host the 10th annual Her Universe Fashion Show at San Diego Comic-Con.
Event producers say the show “celebrates decades of fashion, innovation, and geek couture” with a tribute to Polly Pocket, Hot Wheels, UNO, and Magic 8 Ball (and we’re sure Barbie will be somewhere in the crowd).Scott has loved playing make-believe ever since he was a child, so it’s only natural that he’ll be on hand to emcee the event with Her Universe founder Ashley Eckstein (who also voiced Ahsoka Tano in seven seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Years).
