JASMINE
20s, any ethnicity. Intelligent young princess with insight beyond her years and station; seeks a life beyond the confines of privilege. Strong mix, and strong belt to E. Ability to float in the upper mix into soprano (up to F5) and project in lowest register (down to A3).
GENIE
30s-40s, any ethnicity. Quick-witted, fast-talking, ancient genie who knows all time and place; an old-school song-and-dance man. Cab Calloway, Fats Waller type, able to sing jazz. Strong presence in lower range, D5 in strong falsetto, A4 in chest voice.
BABKAK
20s, any ethnicity. Chubby, funny, romantic desert dweller, part of Aladdin’s band; the “Crosby” of this Arabian “Road” picture, although perhaps with a bit more flair. Power tenor. (Up to rock solid high C).
OMAR
20s, any ethnicity. Nervous, thin, reedy desert dweller, part of Aladdin’s band; the “Lamour.” Bari-tneor, up to A4. Needs good ear for harmony and ability to blend.
KASSIM

SULTAN
50s, any ethnicity. Kind-hearted, widowed ruler of Agrabah; gets so caught up in following the law and tradition that he overlooks his daughter Jasmine’s desires and gets swindled by his own vizier. (Baritone up to E4 though sings very little in the show).
JAFAR
50s, any ethnicity, the royal vizier. Amoral psychopath who’ll not hesitate to destroy anyone he perceives as a threat to his own sinister designs. Good comedic ability and strong evil laugh. Bass, Bass-bari, can be in style of Cyril Ritchard “speak – sing”. (G2-Eb4).
