ALADDIN, a poor street urchin, longs to make his mother proud, but sometimes loses his way. He’s the thief with a heart of gold, so cast your most charismatic actor with the versatility to play both the playful prankster and romantic lead. Must have the vocal chops to carry this heavy- singing role.

BABKAK, OMAR, and KASSIM are Aladdin’s three loyal and playful pals. Babkak is the Agrabahn foodie who loves to snack, kindhearted Omar
has a sensitive soul, and stubborn Kassim yearns to be a leader. These pals should be a truly tight-knit trio of strong singers and actors.

GENIE is the fast-talking, fun-loving, scene- stealing wisecracker who lives in the lamp and yearns to be free. Genie should be an actor with great comic timing and a flashy and fun sense of showmanship.

SIR, MANAL, and RAJAH, Jasmine’s devoted attendants, keep the Princess grounded with their honesty and openness. Isir, whose name means “inspiration,” is optimistic; Manal, “achievement,” is assertively encouraging; and Rajah, “hope,” is the most protective.

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 make her own choices. She is a strong actor and singer who can portray both the romantic lead and a young woman caught between her responsibilities to her people and to herself.

JAFAR is the power-hungry and crooked Grand Vizier. This actor must 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.

SULTAN, the warm-hearted ruler who dotes on his daugther, is committed to upholding the ancient laws of Agrabah.

IAGO is the fawning and funny feathered sidekick to Jafar. Iago should be an actor who can execute this lackey’s many sarcastic asides with comedic flair.

AGRABAHNS are the citizens of Agrabah who help to create the bustling marketplace – merchants, shoppers, beggars, guards, etc. Included in this ensemble are many featured roles.
