ALADDIN AUDITION SCRIPT

Choose one role from one scene to practice and read for your audition.

SCENE 1 - ALADDIN & KASSIM (Aladdin’s friend)

KASSIM: So, what did you steal this time?

ALADDIN: Steal? I don’t know what you’re talking about, Kassim.

KASSIM: Come on, Aladdin. You’ve taught me every swindle I know. You’re the best thief this
side of the River Jordan.

ALADDIN: That’s all behind me now. I promised my parents before they died that I’d never steal
again.

KASSIM: (pulls a loaf of bread out of ALADDIN’S satchel) So what’s this?

ALADDIN: (grabs the bread back) Food doesn’t count. A guy’s gotta eat. You know, maybe we
should both clean up our act. Every time I pick a pocket, I feel awful.

KASSIM: Falafel? You have falafel?

ALADDIN: (closes eyes and shakes head) No. The way I see it, we’re just stealing from the rich
and giving to the poor.

KASSIM: And just so happens that we’re the poor.

ALADDIN: But when people see me, I don’t want the first thing they think to be “thief”.

KASSIM: People don’t think that.

VOICE FROM OFFSTAGE: THIEF!!

(ALADDIN and KASSIM look at each other in fright.)

KASSIM: Of course, I could be wrong. Time to run!


(ALADDIN and KASSIM run away.)
SCENE 2 - JASMINE & ALADDIN

JASMINE: Do you think we lost them?

ALADDIN: Don’t worry, they’ll never find us up here. So....where you from?

JASMINE: I thought you had me all figured out.

ALADDIN: Well...you’re definitely not a local girl...which means you must be on the run from
something.

JASMINE: My father.

ALADDIN: Running away from home?

JASMINE: Running away from life. He’s trying to force me to marry against my will.

ALADDIN: That’s terrible. You should be free to make your own choices, right?

JASMINE: Right. (looks around, shocked by the poverty) Do you live here?

ALADDIN: Oh, I know it’s not much to look at. But how about the view? Look how beautiful the
palace is.

JASMINE: (deadpan) Spectacular.

ALADDIN: Not impressed?

JASMINE: It’s beautiful, but why should some people get to live in such splendor, when
others…(looks around again)...don’t? That’s not fair.

ALADDIN: Welcome to my life! (looks out at the palace) I wonder what it would be like to live
there, to have servants and valets...and a bed.
JASMINE: And people who keep you locked behind walls and then tell you what to do and who
to love.

ALADDIN: It’s better than here. Always scraping for food and dodging the guards.

JASMINE: You’re not free to make your own choices.

ALADDIN: Sometimes you feel so…

JASMINE: You’re just…

ALADDIN & JASMINE: Trapped.


(ALADDIN and JASMINE smile as they look out toward the horizon.)

ALADDIN: Have you ever imagined what it would be like to take off and never look back?

JASMINE: Only every hour of every day.


SCENE 3 - GENIE & ALADDIN

GENIE: Hello everybody! Did ya miss me?

ALADDIN: I think I might be hallucinating…

GENIE: Hallucinating? Impossible! I may be dreamy, but I’m no hallucination.

ALADDIN: Who are you?

GENIE: Who am I? Who am I? Isn’t it obvious? The Genie is here!

ALADDIN: So you’re from inside the lamp?

GENIE: No, I’m from Cleveland. Of course I’m from inside the lamp! And you are the master of
said lamp, so you get three wishes!

ALADDIN: You’re gonna give me three wishes?

GENIE: And I thought the echo in the lamp was bad! Try to keep up, kid! I got a production
number to get to!

ALADDIN: You mean, I can wish for anything I want?

GENIE: That’s right! But ixnay on wishing for more wishes. You got a name, kid?

ALADDIN: Aladdin.

GENIE: Mind if I call you Al...Al? Why don’t you just ruminate whilst I illuminate the
poss-o-bilities!
SCENE 4 - IAGO & JAFAR & SPOOKY VOICE

IAGO: What’s in the book, oh Devious One?

JAFAR: The key to a lamp that contains an all-powerful genie! Once I have it in my grasp,
worries about the Princess’s suitors will be a distant memory. I’ll have the entire kingdom at my
mercy!

IAGO: How do we get our hands on this lamp?

JAFAR: (opens a book and reads an incantation)


Rules of the darkest night,
Grant us now a second sight.
Guards of storms and angry tides,
Show us where the lamp resides!

(A SPOOKY VOICE fills the air)


SPOOKY VOICE: The lamp you seek waits in the Cave of Wonders, beneath the Great Dune.

IAGO: Simple enough! Thank you, Spooky Voice!

SPOOKY VOICE: But be warned, only the Diamond in the Rough may enter - the one whose
worth lies deep within!

JAFAR: And who is this Diamond in the Rough?


(A vision of ALADDIN appears.)

IAGO: He’s the Diamond in the Rough? That guy?

SPOOKY VOICE: Find the Diamond in the Rough and make sure he touches only the lamp!

JAFAR: Once we’ve got that boy, we’ve got our lamp! And I will finally be Sultan of Agrabah!
(JAFAR gives an evil laugh.) HA HA HA HA!
