He’s off on a magic carpet ride to A WHOLE NEW WORLD across America! Today we says Happy Trails to Tony nominee Adam Jacobs who plays his final performance as the title role in the Broadway production of Aladdin – The Musical at the New Amsterdam Theatre. However, his duties as a STREET RAT turned PRINCE are not over. Beginning this April, Jacobs will be headlining the show’s National Tour across America starting in Chicago.
