Adam Jacobs (Aladdin), James Monroe Iglehart (Genie), and Courtney Reed (Jasmine) joined Times Square Alliance President Tim Tompkins, and Countdown Entertainment President Jeffrey Straus in preparation for the release of more than one ton of confetti—by hand from Times Square rooftops by more than 100 volunteers—at midnight on New Year’s Eve.
