This season on my podcast, Baring It All with Call Me Adam, I am spotlighting My Entertainment Idols.

Today, I am chatting with Broadway Fave, Adam Jacobs, who was the OG Aladdin on Broadway.

Adam is gearing up to star in the York Theatre Company's world premiere production of Monte Cristo, based upon Alexandre Dumas’ novel.

In this NEW interview, Adam Jacobs is once again Baring It All with Call Me Adam, but this time around he shares:

• How Monte Cristo landed on his radar
• What it’s really like playing the darker side of Edmond Dantès
• A lesson that stuck with him and made him wiser
• Which parts of Aladdin’s personality he couldn’t quite leave behind
• Plus so much more

Monte Cristo tells the story of a man who reemerges richer, wiser, and fueled by vengeance. As his meticulously planned revenge unfolds, he must decide whether justice alone can truly satisfy the heart.
