As Arielle Jacobs sips her tea and looks out at Manhattan from her Long Island City terrace, the Aladdin star gets the sense that she is living a fairy tale of her own.

“To be back on Broadway in a show that I love, I just feel so blessed," says Jacobs. "I feel so lucky to be able to bring this character to life... I feel like everything is unfolding in a way that I couldn't have expected.”

Jacobs takes us through a typical Friday—from her morning workout with her fiancé and teaching voice lessons, to how she prepares for her Broadway performance. Take a look through the gallery to see what it’s like to be a part of a major Disney musical.
