[quote="Calluna"]According to [url=http://broadwayworld.com/equitylisting.cfm?id=914]Broadway World[/url], auditions for the new Aladdin stage musical are today, and three of the parts they are auditioning are Babkak, Omar, and Kassim!

Babkak, Omar, and Kassim are three characters that appeared in the original treatment Howard Ashman wrote for Aladdin in 1988; they're three friends of Aladdin's and fellow streetrats:

[quote]BABKAK – 20s, chubby, romantic desert dweller, part of Aladdin’s band; the “Crosby” of this Arabian “Road” picture, although perhaps with a bit more flair. 
 
OMAR – 20s, nervous, diminutive desert dweller, part of Aladdin’s band; the “Lamour”. 
 
KASSIM – 20s, tough (inside and out) desert dweller, part of Aladdin’s band; the “Hope”.[/quote]

Presumably if they're bringing these characters back they're also bringing back at least one of the three of Howard's cut songs that they sang: [url=http://aladdincentral.org/music/cutboak.html]Babkak, Omar, Aladdin, Kassim[/url], [url=http://aladdincentral.org/music/cutha.html]High Adventure[/url], and [url=http://aladdincentral.org/music/cuthqtf.html]How Quick they Forget[/url].[/quote]
