Adam Jacobs has been cast as Aladdin in the upcoming Seattle production of Aladdin: The New Stage Musical!
From his website;
"Adam is currently rehearsing for the world premiere of Aladdin as the title character at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theater! Show runs 7/7 through 7/31."
Adam has just finished playing Simba in the national tour of The Lion King (a role he will go back to on Broadway in August), which means this guy can really sing!
I think he really looks the part, and he sounds good in the few youtube videos I could find.
Broadway World's messageboards have also mentioned Courtney Reed as Princess Jasmine, James Monroe Iglehart as Genie and Andrew Kennan-Bolger is believed to be Omar. But I've not found confirmation of these yet. Hopefully a full announcement will be coming pretty soon as rehearsals have now started! |
