Cast

Please note that this production is currently in preparation - the following character descriptions are taken from the audition notice<ref>Main SLT website</ref>

• Alan Laddin, father to Aladdin (M) Small role, but lots of pathos. Will double as chorus member throughout.
• Aladdin/Arthur (15/16 playing age) (M) Principal character, typical school boy, falls in love with a princess, becomes the richest man in the world and brings back the dead.
• Arthur's Mum (F) (Small role, good singing voice, appears throughout singing)
• Widow Twankey (M/F) The DAME!
• Jiminy Picket, a policeman (M/F) Comedy duo
• Bob Scratchit, another policeman. (M/F) Other half of comedy duo
• The Slave of the Ring (F) - A beautiful Genie, must have good singing voice. She is in love with Rum Baba, the Genie of the Lamp.
• The Evil Vizier Abanazer (M) A baddie part to play with relish!
• The Lord High Eminent Emperor, Ruler of All China, The Seven Seas and Much of the Conurbation of the West Midlands (M)
• The Lady High Even-more Eminent Empress, Ruler of all the above and More (M/F)
• Princess Jasmine (F) Playing age 16, NOT your typical principal girl, falls in love with Aladdin/Arthur and shows him her prowess with her katana. Think Lara Croft.

• Char Siu, A Slave Girl (15/16) (F)
• Wishee Washee, Errant Son to Widow Twankey (M) The comedy foil to Aladdin and Twankey. The Buttons/Tickles part.
