Musical-Specific Audition Songs

The Best Audition Songs for Aladdin – By Character

If you’re looking for audition songs for Aladdin, it’s best to choose a whimsical Disney or musical theatre song that matches the show’s tone and suits your vocal type. Be sure to check your audition notice for any specific song guidelines.

Because Aladdin is a 2011 musical based on a 1992 film, the audition songs below are from between the 1990s and 2020s. Each one has been carefully hand-picked and reviewed by a musical theatre professional to ensure fit and audition readiness.

Step 1: Review Audition Info

Please read your audition details carefully, as they sometimes specify the type of song they’d like to hear. For example, in the auditions for Disney’s Aladdin, they request “16 bars of an uptempo musical theatre song”.


Step 2: Study the Show

Before auditioning, you should get familiar with the show, and listening to the cast album is a great way to do that. Here’s where you can learn more about Aladdin.


Step 3: Pick an Audition Song

Next, based on your personality and vocal type, decide whether you’d like to audition for the ensemble or a specific character. Just keep in mind that if you audition for a specific character, you still might not be chosen for that particular role.

There’s usually a spot on the audition form asking if you are open to being in the ensemble or accepting a different role. I would suggest ticking that box and taking whatever you are offered. Every role is important, and you will earn valuable experience in a show.

And on that same note, even if you audition for the ensemble (rather than a specific character), there’s always a chance of being cast in a leading or supporting role!

To summarize, keep an open mind and try not to take the process too seriously. And when you’re ready, choose the song that you feel most comfortable with from the list below.
