Speaking to West End Frame during a recent interview, John Wilson said: "I know that Aladdin’s coming to town; I’ve seen a lot of clips of it on Broadway and would love to play that role. It would be incredible! He’s got some amazing tunes. There are a lot of people out there, so all I can do is go into an audition and be as prepared as possible and give it my best shot."
