I love how both her and her brother played characters in the same musical 😭❤✨ i love te jacobs siblings so much such a talented family

[skyefeinstein]

I saw her as jasmine in may and she was absolutely amazing - the even more amazing thing was that Aladdin was an understudy and she still had INSANE chemistry with him! She and Major Attaway made the show!

What a cool transformation, and she's beautiful! She makes a perfect Jasmine!

ARIELLE IS A STUNNING JASMINE AND WAS BORN FOR THIS ROLE. UGH I LOVE HER.

People are making a big deal on the fact that Arielle Jacobs is not middle eastern. A black man plays Kristoff in the broadway production of frozen. So why can’t a Filipino girl play princess Jasmine? Race is something you are born into and it shouldn’t determine what jobs you can do or what role you play

Arielle is truly just one of the loveliest people on Broadway. <3

[haileyfrankenfield]

Love her as Jasmine! Adam and Arielle are both great in this musical and fit the roles beautifully

It’s Arielle Jacobs but they play Courtney Reed singing. Still love this video

I saw Arielle and started to cry I LOVE HER SO MUCH

Okay guys...she’s not white! Lol but seriously...The magic of theatre is that you can seriously play anything/anyone no matter what race you are. But okay...yes you have to look the part (or at least what the casting directors want) but that doesn’t mean you have to be just like the character. Although it would be very nice to have someone play a role that is the same ethnicity as theirs, it’s not the #1 priority in theatre =]

[anyastar]

God! People will complain about anything. Sheesh... *Make your own Broadway production!*

[Luna_MorningStar]

This is off.... that is off.. I really miss the days where the internet wasn't a thing so people could keep there bitchin to themselves.
I love princess Jasmine, my baby sister was actually named after her. Love the video ❤

[atekotkot]

Knowing Lea Salonga's version, I can't help but compare it with hers. It's just that she set the standard pretty know?

[lizsmare]

Historically all of the characters in Hamilton are white. People of color play many of the characters. In broadway, it is okay to play a character outside of your race, ethnicity, and gender.

I have no issue with Arielle playing jasmine- she's an amazing singer and captures jasmines spirit perfectly. I don't think that the roles of jasmine or Aladdin should be restricted to middle easterns but I do wish that there was more middle eastern representation in broadway, particularly in this production. Although there is debate about where Aladdin is actually set, the story that broadway had adapted is disney's version which is set in the Middle East and borrows elements of ancient Arab culture and folklore so allowing actual arabs to represent that hence making the show a platform for more inclusivity in the world of musical theatre would be a wonderful thing, in my opinion. Not hating on Arielle, I think she's wonderfully talented- but I do hope the one to take the role after her will be arab or partially arab...
