Hi this is Jordan Rosales for CalTV Entertainment and today I'm here with Isabelle McCalla
who plays Jasmine in the national tour of the smash Broadway hit Aladdin.
Isabelle, I have to tell you growing up as a little gay boy,
I was obsessed with Disney princesses and honestly I still am.
So being able to talk to one in real life is a dream come true.
Thank you so much for joining me today!
Of course, thanks for having me!
We're going to start with the really hard hitting questions.
Are you ready?
Let's do this.
Okay, you sure?
Yeah
How much do you miss Abu?
Well, I don't miss Abu i miss Rajah, my tiger.
Sorry to start off really intense but it's like
what the viewers want to know.
And I really gotta...
I'm the voice of the people.
I notice that when you went to the National Women's March in D.C last year,
I did.
I did.
Thank you for using your voice.
How does your personal brand of feminism inform the way that you play Jasmine?
Oh, that's a very good question.
Thank you.
The way I see her is that she is a boldly strong free thinking woman,
who constantly is questioning the laws, the language that's being used, and the men around her.
Have you met Broadway icon and original singing voice of Jasmine, Lea Salonga?
No, but I would die to.
I love her.
Well, you're in luck because we have with us today.
I'm just kidding.
I would literally pee my pants.
I can't.
I don't know Lea Salonga.
She won't return my phone calls.
She's an icon though.
She truly is an icon.
What city are you looking forward to going to most?
San Francisco.
San Francisco?
All right, so it's just all downhill from here.
I mean, we're on a hill so.
I'm excited.
Traveling is the best form of education, so I'm just so excited to go to all these
different cities and learn more about that particular community and the cultures there.
So you would say it opens you up to "A Whole New World" ?
Indeed.
Be honest.
Okay Who's Netflix account do you use?
My own!
An adult?
I know I'm an adult, and my mom actually uses mine!
If you could turn any normal movie into a musical,
what would it be and what's a song that would be in there?
It would be Miss Congeniality.
I love Sandy B. I love Gracie Lou Freebush.
What would the anthem be?
"Sarcasm and a Gun"!
I like it! That's the song.
I'm gonna let everybody know that I've ever met
that we're gonna make this happen.
Woo!
When you put it in the universe, it comes back I think.
I read it online.
What's a song that's in the show that you really wish you could sing?
High Adventure!
I think the Bok Boys, Babkak Omar Kassim are great (The New Abus) They're the new Abus!
They're his boo boos actually.
And then yeah, I think they're just a great comic trio
and that song High Adventure is totally fun swashbuckling
and funny.
Who do you spend the most time with on this tour?
On this tour?
Probably, my boyfriend.
Aww, that's so cute.
We met on tour.
Yeah, we met in rehearsals in Chicago.
Nice, that's so romaantic.
I have a really important question.
Who is your favorite Disney princess, obviously outside of Jasmine.
Belle.
That's mine too!
Yay!
Did we just become best friends?
I think we just became best friends.
Oh my god.
Let's go to the library together.
Thank you so much for joining me today Isabelle.
Everybody please go check out Aladdin.
It's going to be playing here at the SHN Orpheum Theatre here in San Francisco until January 7th.
It's like the best show ever. You're going to be so excited.
Yeah!
Awesome, thank you.
It was lovely meeting you.
Go Bears!
