It is STRONGLY discouraged to cast actors who are in the concurrent main stage production. In order to do so, permission MUST be obtained by a collaborative discussion between the parents and both the Main Stage Director and the YPT director, with optional advisement from the YPT committee.
Character Descriptions:
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. Charming and a strong singer/performer. He'll need the versatility to play the funny, slick prankster as well as the romantic lead.
Jasmine: Feisty and rebellious, yet genuinely sweet and somewhat naïve.
Sultan: Sultan, the warm-hearted ruler who dotes on his daugther, is committed to upholding the ancient laws of Agrabah.
Jafar: The power-hungry and crooked Grand Vizier. Cast a strong performer who can sing and 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.
Iago: The fawning and funny sidekick to Jafar. Focus on finding an performer who can execute this lackey’s many sarcastic asides with comedic flair.
Genie: The fast-talking, scene-stealing funny character. Genie doesn't need to be the strongest singer and dancer - the ability to do comedy is much more important. Should have a flashy and fun sense of showmanship.
Babkak, Omar, and Kassim: These 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. When auditioning, have your potential pals read together to get a sense of their chemistry – they should be a truly tight-knit trio of strong singers and performers.
Isir, Manal, and Rajah: These are 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. As with Aladdin’s three pals, audition potential attendants together to get a sense of their chemistry, but above all, cast strong singers who can pull off “These Palace Walls” with aplomb.
Razoul: The rough and commanding head of the palace guards, answers to Jafar. Cast a performer who can portray an intimidating leader.
Prince Abdullah: One of Princess Jasmine’s haughty and arrogant
suitors.
Ensemble: Guards, Townspeople, Prince Abdullah's Attendants, Shop Owner, Fortune Teller, Beggars, Apple Vendor, Cave of Wonders, Spooky Voice, Prince Ali's Entourage, etc.
