We all work together to pump each other up. Before the show [Aladdin], we give each other a pound on the back, like a sports team.
Adam JacobsI did an album and they allowed me to sell it at the show. I also did a Disney cruise line gig. I always wanted to make an album and it was an idea that came to me when we first started working on Aladdin.
Adam JacobsI always loved Alan Menken songs and wanted my first album to be a tribute to him and his work. I always loved his music.
Adam JacobsI get to sing a great song called "Proud of your boy" which was by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman and they were so hurt when it had to be cut from the film [Aladdin]. They were not happy. For the sake of the film, they had to streamline everything.
Adam JacobsThat song [ "Proud of your boy" ] in particular, I sing towards the beginning of the show [Aladdin], and what it does is show his wants and needs at the beginning and what's motivating him and carry it throughout the show. It gives him layers and dimensions. He's a well rounded character and it's great.
