Jacobs is starring as Princess Jasmine in the Disney juggernaut Aladdin on Broadway. She has previously starred on Broadway in In The Heights as Nina and in Wicked as Nessa.

Jacobs originated the roles of Farhad in Farhad, or the Secret of Being off-Broadway, Gabriella in the national tour of Disney’s High School Musical, Nina in the first national tour of In The Heights and Jasmine in the Australian company of Disney’s Aladdin.

Featuring a book by Timothy Allen McDonald (Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach) and a score by Elyssa Samsel and Kate Anderson (Olaf's Frozen Adventure), Between the Lines centers on Delilah (Jacobs), an outsider in a new town and a new school, who seeks comfort in the pages of her favorite book, where she feels heard and understood. But as the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur, Delilah has to confront whether she alone has the power to rewrite her own story.

The full design will be announced at a later date. The musical made its world premiere at Kansas City Rep in fall of 2017.
