How my journey began
Arielle Jacobs most recently starred as Princess Jasmine in the smash-hit Broadway musical, Disney’s Aladdin, and is set to lead the new upcoming musical Between The Lines Off-Broadway in 2021.
She is a California native whose journey from small farm town to The Great White Way is a tale of perseverance, moxie and true talent. Known for her “songbird-like ability,” Ms. Jacobs made her Broadway debut starring opposite Lin-Manuel Miranda in the final Broadway cast of his four-time Tony and Grammy award-winning musical In The Heights. Praised as “compelling” and “radiant” by Variety Magazine, and her voice as “powerful” by The New York Times, Ms. Jacobs continued her meteoric rise wowing audiences with starring roles in Wicked on Broadway, Rent, Disney’s High School Musical, and Into the Woods where she performed opposite Emmy-nominated actor Tituss Burgess.
She has starred in two world-premiere plays by Pulitzer-winning playwright and director Nilo Cruz, Sotto Voce and Farhad or The Secret of Being, and has worked with Tony-winners Christopher Gattelli and Richard Maltby, Jr., Tony-nominated director Jeff Calhoun, Drama Desk-winner Ed Iskander, and David Hyde Pierce, her limitless talent always in demand.
Ms. Jacobs has performed onstage in many of America's greatest concert halls, including Lincoln Center and The Kennedy Center, and beside legendary artists such as Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Chaka Khan, Teena Marie, and Stephen Schwartz. Sports fans have been thrilled by her singing of the National Anthem for the Boston Celtics, the Texas Rangers and twice for the L.A. Kings.
No stranger to charity, 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.

Our daughter met Arielle during an event at her arts school and working with her has been the best experience. She is not only very personable, but always professional. Her coaching has taken our children to a whole new level of performance and we could not be more pleased.

I am pretty sure that I was the toughest case possible. Every time I would go to sing all that would come out were shrieks that were the equivalent to that penguin in the movie Happy Feet. I thought I would never be able to sing again. But after 5 minutes with Arielle something absolutely magical happened. My voice opened up with total ease and my authentic voice came through for the first time. I am still mesmerized by the precision of her mastery. I can’t recommend her highly enough. She has a unique approach that is absolutely the most efficient and effective approach I have ever witnessed.
