Last Dec. 16, 2023, Pasko (Christmas) in America and American Dream featured top Broadway star Arielle Jacobs and her fellow Filipino American cast members in a showstopping musical performance.

Arielle is popularly known for her most recent role in the David Byne disco-pop musical “Here Lies Love.” She also starred opposite “Hamilton” star Lin-Manuel Miranda in “In The Heights” as Nina Rosario, before enchanting audiences as Nessarose in the mega-hit “Wicked,” as well as Jasmine in “Aladdin”, among other shows.

For “Here Lies Love,” director Alex Timbers has been quoted as saying that Arielle “brings a fierce intelligence, natural charisma, sense of danger, and the ability to exude empathy and warmth in one moment and icy superiority the next.”
