Who is currently playing Aladdin on tour?
Posted by: jml 04:25 am EDT 08/18/17

I know Jacob Dickey stepped into the role in June due to Adam Jacobs' medical leave, but Mr. Dickey's bio has been removed from the cast list on official website and has not been replaced with anyone. The Broadway cast lists Telly Leung as Aladdin first. Since Mr. Dickey's removal from the tour page, Anthony Murphy (Genie) is listed first, and there is no indication of who is playing Aladdin.

Mr. Jacobs (Adam) retweeted a video posted by Broadway in Chicago on August 14 featuring himself singing A Whole New World a a Broadway in Chicago concert, but there is no indication if he is returning to the show itself yet or not. If he is, it would seem his bio should be reinstated to the website with relative ease, since it was there before Dickey's was added.

Does anyone know anything?

I saw somewhere that Adam Jacobs recently rejoined the touring company.

The tour's website at this time doesn't list an Aladdin. Maybe an understudy? Link inside

"Disney's Aladdin" has been playing in Chicago since April, and except for some vacation time, Aladdin has been played by Adam Jacobs, who created the title role on Broadway. The company is currently scheduled to depart for touring in mid-September. I don't know if Mr. Jacobs will continue with the tour beyond Chicago.

It was a medical leave, not vacation time. But yes, Jacobs is back in the role and expected to remain for the rest of the run.
