Aladdin Cast List
Congratulations on your casting!
You will notice on cast the list there are simply titles along with exotic Arabic names next to your names. While it will be our job together to bring dynamic to those titles (and learn how to pronounce them together), the list does not necessarily reveal everything you’ll be doing in the play. Remember, the script will change some- avoid highlighting lines just yet. Songs and line assignments may be altered. Mainly now, trust the process; be kind to your fellow students, remain open to opportunity and direction, and let us work hard as a united theatrical community to bring Aladdin to life.
