Jacob Williams

Name: Jacob Williams

Character: Gunther/ Viking

If you could give yourself any Viking name it would be?: Jacobius the Incorrigible!

Favorite past show/performance: I have two favorite roles.  I played Bertha in A Tuna Christmas my Junior year at University High School.  It was my first leading role, and one of the most fun ones I’ve played.  My other favorite was when I played the Narrator in What Your Parents Don’t Want You to Know.  It was the most challenging and demanding role I’ve ever played.  It was a new show, much like Yo, Vikings is, and I was honored to create such a crucial role in that show.

Pre-show ritual or warm-up: I arrive to the theatre about 30 minutes before call time to do my makeup and prepare.

Top Three favorite Musicals and/or Plays: Picking only three shows is ridiculously difficult.  I refuse.  Some of my favorite musicals are Les Miserables, Rent, Curtains, She Loves Me, Bare, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Love Never Dies.

Favorite Song from “Yo, Vikings!”: The Real Adventure

If you could dress up as anything to work or school it would be?: Something with an awesome pair of shoes!

Favorite part of doing the show: The music is so much fun to sing!  It is such a great experience to perform a show for the first time.
