Audition for Aladdin – A musical Spectacular!

This is a opportunity of a lifetime – the chance to relive a classic Disney movie in real life…Aladdin! A Broadway theatrical production of this award winning classic is about to become a reality. And they need actors! More specifically, the two main roles. That’s right, you can audition for Aladdin or Jasmine themselves and be the star of this show! Almost everyone has seen the Disney production of Aladdin (who doesn’t love Genie?!?) and now you might just get to be in it!

This amazing musical spectacular will be performed live at the Disney Adventure park in Anaheim, California starting around December. The show will run for about 7 months – the whole time with you as the star! If you are hired as an actor, your contract will start in October and last until the end of the show. Don’t live in California? No worries. If you are really good they will offer relocation assistance…which means they pay for you to move out there!

Feeling nervous about your auditioning skills? Don’t worry. You can check out previous posts to learn all about how to impress casting directors. Just remember to be calm. If you are nervous, it is sure to show. And that is the very last thing you need.

So if you are at least 18 and live in New York, NY (or at least have a way to get there), start prepping! You only have until September 2, 2010, to prepare for this amazing audition, so you better get started. Be sure to watch all the Aladdin movies with your friends! Below are some more details about this awesome opportunity!
