Cast 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, so must be a charismatic actor with the versatility to play both the playful prankster and romantic lead. Must be a strong singer that can carry this heavy- singing role.

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

Iago is the fawning and funny sidekick to Jafar. Must be an actor who can execute this lackey’s many sarcastic asides with comedic flair. Strong singer/dancer is a plus.

Isir, 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. These three actresses must have chemistry, and be strong singers who can pull off “These Palace Walls” with aplomb.

Jafar is the power-hungry and crooked Grand Vizier. Must be a strong actor 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.

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. Must be 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.

Sultan, the warm-hearted ruler who dotes on his daugther, is committed to upholding the ancient laws of Agrabah. Must be a strong actor who can play this father figure convincingly.

Prince Abdullah is one of Princess Jasmine’s haughty and arrogant suitors.

The Attendants accompany Prince Abdullah on his journey to Agrabah.

The mysterious Spooky Voice, conjured by Jafar, reveals the location of the lamp. This voice can be recorded, come from offstage, or with creative staging, come from an ensemble performer onstage.

The Cave of Wonders is the ominous voice that instructs Aladdin to fetch only the lamp from the treasures within. This voice can be created in a variety of ways, much like the Spooky Voice.

The Ensemble in “Friend Like Me” is conjured by Genie to help wow Aladdin by singing, dancing, and assisting in performing fun and fabulous magic tricks. The Ensemble will also play the Entourage, led by Aladdin’s three pals, that helps to create the visually spectacular parade through the palace in “Prince Ali.” Ensemble members will also play Agrabahns.
