Cast of Legally Blonde
Congratulations on your casting!
You will notice that on the list there are general terms such as Harvard Student, Marching Band, Delta Nu or Frat Pack. Those terms and in fact, the list itself does not necessarily reveal everything you’ll be doing in the play. Once we’re together, you will hear more of the specific scenes, songs, and dances that you’ll be in. Remember, the script will change some- avoid highlighting lines just yet. Songs and line assignments may be altered. Mainly now, trust the process; be kind to your fellow students, remain open to opportunity and direction, and let us work and play hard as a united theatrical community to bring this energized show to life!

Aladdin Cast List
Congratulations on your casting!
You will notice on cast the list there are simply titles along with exotic Arabic names next to your names. While it will be our job together to bring dynamic to those titles (and learn how to pronounce them together), the list does not necessarily reveal everything you’ll be doing in the play. Remember, the script will change some- avoid highlighting lines just yet. Songs and line assignments may be altered. Mainly now, trust the process; be kind to your fellow students, remain open to opportunity and direction, and let us work hard as a united theatrical community to bring Aladdin to life.
