ADAM JACOBS

 

 

 

 

Adam Jacobs grew up in Half Moon Bay, California, with his parents, a nurse and a businessman, and his younger sister, Arielle, who is also an actress. His dad is Jewish, Russian, Dutch and Polish and his mom is Filipino.

 

Jacobs' first professional gig came in 1998 after a representative from the San Francisco Opera noticed him during his "Evita" performance and invited Jacobs to audition for a part in the opera based on the life of Harvey Milk. He landed the part of "Young Harvey."

 

Then, after earning a BFA in theater from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, Jacobs continued working in regional theaters, theme parks, and cruise ships. 

 

In 2004 Jacobs was cast as Marius in the national tour of "Les Misérables." Then, in 2006, Jacobs was cast in the Broadway revival of "Les Mis." He played the part of Marius in New York City for 14 months.

 

Jacobs got the opportunity to go on the road with "Mamma Mia!" which he did for 12 months before landing a role he had been auditioning for since he had graduated from college eight years prior: Simba in Disney's "The Lion King.” He was on the road with 'The Lion King' for a year then on Broadway for another 12 months." 

 

It was in October of 2010 — when Jacobs was still on the road with "The Lion King" — that he got the first call about "Aladdin." "I was in Chicago and the producers of Disney Theatrical saw me and said, 'You'd be perfect to work on 'Aladdin,'' and so they actually flew me out from Chicago — they took me off the road for a week — and I had to come to New York to work on the first developmental lab reading of the show."

 

He says he didn't know "Aladdin" was in the works, but was thrilled to get the call. "To be hand-picked by the producers really made me feel like I had reached a milestone in my career. It was just so cool."

Once that week was over, Jacobs went back on the road with "The Lion King," and when he came back to New York to play Simba on Broadway, he continued doing "Aladdin" readings and presentations for Disney executives.

 

"Then, I eventually did have to audition for the director in late 2011 or early 2012, because they decided to hire Tony award-winning director Casey Nicholaw from 'Book of Mormon.'"

Once he impressed Nicholaw, it was a done deal.

 

The show opened in Seattle in July 2011, then headed to Toronto. It wasn't until early 2014 that "Aladdin" finally debuted on Broadway.
