Aladdin, a poor street urchin, longs to do the right thing, but sometimes loses his way. He's the thief with a heart of gold, so we will be casting a charismatic actor with the versatility to play both the playful prankster and caring lead. This is a heavy- singing role.
Genie is the fun-loving, scene-stealing wisecracker who lives in the lamp and yearns to be free. We are looking for an actor with great comic timing and a flashy and fun sense of showmanship.
Iago is the fawning and funny parrot and sidekick to Jafar. We need an actor who can execute this lackey's many sarcastic asides with comedic flair.
Jafar is the power-hungry and crooked Royal Vizier. We will be casting a strong singer/ actor who can portray both sides of Jafar's two- faced personality - loyal advisor to the Sultan and scheming villain - as well as pull off delicious comedic moments with his lackey Iago.
Jasmine, the Princess of Agrabah, longs to experience the world outside the palace walls. Curious and assertive, she knows what she wants and craves the freedom to create change and help the people of her kingdom. We will be casting a strong actor and singer who can portray both the caring lead and a young woman caught between her responsibilities to her people and to herself.
The Lamp Salesman is a likeable fast-talking vendor who serves as the principal storyteller in our show. The actor playing this role should be comfortable onstage and have a clear speaking voice.
Sultan, the warm-hearted ruler who dotes on his daughter, is committed to upholding the ancient laws of Agrabah. This actor should be able to play this father figure convincingly.
Bread Vendor is an aggravated seller in the marketplace from whom Aladdin steals.
Fruit Vendor is a friendly merchant in the marketplace.
Prince Abdullah, Prince Hassim, and Prince Malik are the royal suitors who aspire to marry Jasmine. These pompous princes are more interested in becoming Sultan than getting to know the Princess, so we need three actors who can humorously convey different levels of clichéd coolness.
