Arielle was most recently seen on Broadway as Princess Jasmine in Disney’s Aladdin, Arielle Jacobs has been called “one of the greatest theater artists of her generation” with a “powerful voice” who “could sing her way to world peace.” Arielle made her Broadway debut starring opposite creator Lin-Manuel Miranda in the final Broadway cast of the four-time Tony^® and Grammy Award^® winning musical In The Heights. Praised as “compelling” and “radiant” by Variety Magazine and “Powerful” by The New York Times, Ms. Jacobs has continued to wow audiences ever since with starring roles in Wicked on Broadway, Disney’s Aladdin (both on Broadway and in the Australian premiere production), Rent (Mimi), Disney’s High School Musical (originating Gabriella in the stage musical), Into the Woods (Baker’s Wife) where she performed opposite Emmy-nominated actor Tituss Burgess, and more. Arielle starred Off-Broadway in two world premiere plays by Pulitzer-winning playwright Nilo Cruz including the one woman show “Farhad or the Secret of Being” (which Lincoln Center Public Library in NYC chose to film for their musical theater archives), and has performed onstage in many of America’s greatest concert halls including Jazz at Lincoln Center in NYC, The Kennedy Center in Washington DC, Symphony Hall in Boston, and many more beside legendary artists such as Wynton Marsalis, Chaka Khan, and Stephen Schwartz. She has performed her solo show “A Leap In The Dark”, and in front of symphony orchestras, to rave reviews around the world in Abu Dhabi, Israel, Italy, Athens, Miami, New Orleans, Panama City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver, Tokyo, Taiwan, and more. Ms. Jacobs is the founder of The Girls Camaraderie Project, an organization working to build camaraderie and community instead of competition among middle-school girls.
