Equity actors for possible future replacements in the Broadway production of ALADDIN (see breakdown).
The musical stage production of Aladdin on Broadway is a spectacle adventure based on a tale that has been reimagined time and again across many cultures. We acknowledge the tremendous cultural responsibility inherent in adapting this timeless fable that is based on tales from Africa, Arabia, China, Europe, India, Persia and Russia and beloved across generations and cultures, and our adaptation is deeply indebted to the rich and diverse tapestry that is Middle Eastern, North African, and South Asian (MENASA) cultures, languages and aesthetic traditions.
The audition process is open to actors of all races and ethnicities, gender identities and ages, as well as performers with disabilities.
Please prepare a brief traditional up-tempo musical theatre song that shows vocal range. Please bring a hardcopy headshot and resume. An accompanist will be provided.
