All Roles Open - any role may be performed by an actor of any gender

Role	Description
Aladdin	Aladdin is the title character and therefore carries most of the show. Charming and a strong singer/actor. He'll need the versatility to play the funny, slick prankster as well as the romantic lead.
Genie	Genie is the fast-talking, scene-stealing funny man. Genie doesn't need to be the strongest singer and dancer - the ability to do comedy is much more important.
Jasmine	Feisty and rebellious, yet genuinely sweet and somewhat naïve.
Iago	Parrot. Iago is another great comedy role. Iago has several sarcastic jibes and asides.
Jafar	Jafar is our villain. Jafar should be more of a caricature of classic evil villains than someone really scary. Jafar and Iago also share some comic moments.
Sultan	Although a bit scattered, he needs to be able to portray love and care for Jasmine.
Narrator	Responsible for setting scenes and advancing the plot.
Razoul	Razoul should be played as highly incompetent - always making mistakes. Needs good comedic timing.
Ensemble	Guards, Townspeople, Shop Owners, a Baker, a Matron, Harem Girls, Visiting Princes, etc.
