Babkak, Omar, Aladdin, Kassim (2019)

My son, Kyle as Aladdin in summer show August 2019 (Like & Subscribe to his channel at Kyle Arzaga!!)

[@unoriginal1562]

“People paying other people to watch them sing and dance? Who does that?!” This is why Babkak is my favorite character

[@NOTADDIECAKES.]

That’s why my best friend Evelyn is Babkak in Aladdin jr.

[@doughnutbunny811]

And that’s why I’m babkak in my school musical

[@jennaaugustt]

im babkak!!

[@HenryWade-cg3qg]

I too was babkak, back in the ancient times of 2022

[@MaryPayne-ke6hu]

I’m playing Babkak in Aladdin this year!!

[@ardena5990]

My school is doing Aladdin Jr and I’ve been casted as genie. And even though I’m not in it, this will always be my favorite song, and I will always annoy the stage hands and do the dancing backstage

[@joyarzaga]

Ah! Love it!!

[@missybarnes7400]

Ayyyy well done. How did it go? I've got my audition for aladdin jr next week

[@ariella1677]

[@nwolfgacha]

We are doing aladdin jr too I'm iago this is my favorite song too

[@WyattXD]

hahahahaha help me please I got aladdin my show is in two days and I’m incredibly nervous

[@starrybugs]

I’m playing Kassim in my production of this show and I kinda feel like he has more personality in this scene than the entire rest of the play lmao. I kinda wanted to be Babkak because he gets the funniest lines, but I guess I’m happy with what I got

[@joyarzaga]

Congratulations on the role! Be grateful that you got a part cuz someone in the ensemble would probably be psyched to have gotten it 😊and make the best out of it and of course... have fun!!😁 Good luck with the production! So happy to hear that stage productions are happening during these Covid times!

[@starrybugs]

Joy Arzaga I guess you’re right. Thank you!

[@cupidine4551]

Hey, i'm playing Kassim right now too!

[@oh.no.its.sydney5341]

i was kassim a few years ago it’s a fun part

[@missybarnes7400]

I'm auditioning next week. I was going to audition as the genie but the director told me to audition as jasmine so I guess I'm doing that instead now

[@xPoisonedStardustx]

I remember doing this for a school play! I was Omar and this was my favourite part in the whole thing :]

[@oliversproductionsYT]

Playing Kassim lol, role is genuinely fun and this gave me a couple of ideas for execution

[@joyarzaga]

Oh that's great!! Glad to hear this was of help for you! Have fun & break a leg with the rest of your run!

[@ameliemolinier2145]

My school is putting aladdin jr on our stage..i got casted as babkak and ofc me not knowing who he was i was dispointed but this made me happy and i think he will be a fun character to betray

[@joyarzaga]

Oh yeah... he's a fun character! You get to be funny!! Congrats and have fun!!

[@ameliemolinier2145]

Thank you!

I’m in this musical as the fortune teller at the center for the arts

[@Charles10293]

So glad to be Babkak in this play!

[@strawberry8928]

I'm playing babkak and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a hard time since some of my teammates hate me 💀

[@joyarzaga]

Oh no I'm sorry. Why do they hate you? I had to do scenes and sing duets with people I didn't like because they were not nice to me or because they were an ex-boyfriend but remember... it's ACTING. So you go to rehearsals with a professional attitude... do your scenes/numbers and that's it! Only worry about and care what you can bring to this character and you shine on that stage!

[@strawberry8928]

@@joyarzaga Waaahh you sound so cool. ;-;

[@joyarzaga]

@@strawberry8928 You too!! Don't let those who mistreat you get to you, ok! Kill them with kindness. They're probably just jealous that you got the part over them. Stay humble and be professional and like I said... Shine!! Break a leg!! Post video clips of your performance!

[@-spoons-daddy]

Everyone else is talking about how they got good roles when I’m a beger and a background character but my favorite out of the four is babcack because of his lines in are Aladdin jr play

[@liam-ju6gj]

bro this is actually perfect 👍

[@oliveia9843]

So excited to perform this show this year ❤️

[@joyarzaga]

Break a leg and HAVE FUN!!!

[@Thomas_H._Smith]

Loved that they used some aspects and songs from Howard Ashman's original treatment.

[@kaitpeters933]

We genderbended Babkak, Omar and Kassim and made them Aladdin’s sisters. The bummer part is that our director cut out this song.

[@joyarzaga]

Oh wow! That's cool that your director cast it that way but totally sucks that they cut the song!! Why??!!

[@alliecorry174]

We are doing this show right now and we made Omar and Babkak girls! I am playing Omar lol

I'm playing Kassim in my production and I'm super excited. This song is so fun... but not as fun as High Adventure!

hey- I’m playing babkak in this play, and these actors did great! but, the songs seem fast-paced and I, uh, cough cough, s u c kTM at dancing- any possible things I could try to better myself with it-? thanks :,)

[@joyarzaga]

Aw. Well first of all congrats on the role and show! I'm sure your choreographer will help you. Just keep practicing the moves. Learn the song as quickly as possible so that you can focus on the choreography. I'm sure you'll be fine 🙂 and don't forget to smile and just have fun! Any mishaps will be forgiven if you're smiling and having fun!! Good luck & Break a leg!!

[@yeahright1020]

I'm a costume director for my school's edition of this play, but watching this makes me wish I was part of the actors. They look like they're having so much fun on stage.

[@joyarzaga]

They did have a lot of fun and they all had such great chemistry! Hard to believe that they mounted this show in just 9 rehearsals within a 2 week span!!

[@yeahright1020]

@@joyarzaga Just nine?! Last 2 years my school put on a 1 act play for my grade and we had a month to rehearse and it still flopped. They must be really good.

[@joyarzaga]

@@yeahright1020 Ya just 9! They did get their scripts like a couple of weeks before that 1st rehearsal and all had to be off-book by the 1st rehearsal. This was a youth summer group and so they rehearsed ALL day from 8:30am to 4:00pm but still 9 days is insane!

[@LoldoodYT]

My friend plays Omar, and he is a lead for this song.

[@user-lk8sy8ze8k]

in my school we are doing an aladdin play and im Kassim lol

[@myg8236]

My school was doing this play around a few months ago but due to Covid 19 they had to put it on pause. I was super excited since this was the first opportunity I had to be in a play. I got the role as Babkak. I don't think I make a very good Babkak and the people who play Kassim and Omar at my school their roles fit them well. I'll try my best though. I'm hoping that they'll continue the play in November. Wish me luck guys!😁

[@joyarzaga]

Well congrats on getting the role and hopefully your school will get back to normal and you guys get to perform it! Don't sell yourself short... your director obviously believes that you are good enough to play the part which is why you were cast!! Believe in yourself and have fun with the character! And if you're unsure of how to deliver a line, ask your director! Most importantly is to have fun! And if you're not already friends with the others playing Omar, Aladdin and Kassim, get to be friends. Go and hang out all together and create that camaraderie and chemistry because that will absolutely translate on stage if you guys have a strong connection & chemistry!! It's a great song and you get to play the comic relief!! Fun!! Let me know how it goes and feel free if you have any questions! I'm a director too! I didn't direct this production but I have on my channel a few of my productions that I directed like Mamma Mia!! 😊

[@catscats7485]

I really hope someday I can be in an aladdin jr. Production because I really want play Omar because I really like Omar's part but my middle school hasn't done it but if I get into a musical theater company hopefully they'll do a laden and I will audition for Omar cuz I really want to play Omar in Aladdin Junior

My school has done Aladdin but I wasn’t at there beacause I was in my old school

[@LaurenKidd-wi3oy]

I’m auditioning for a production of Aladdin jr where they’ll probably gender bend these roles because thee aren’t many guys (I’m an alto btw) and it’s the first role with this company I feel I could really pull off, but I’m only 14 and they tend to only cast the older kids (it will be my sixth show with them so far and the biggest role I’ve gotten is one of the teachers in school of rock but I’m mainly ensemble or really minor few line roles) anyways, I have the perfect range for one of these guys and I think I could pull it off if they gave me a chance or a callback or something. Wish me luck! (They do cast people my age and younger for things like this, as well as people getting leads on their first show, we have to sing a bit of friend like me for the audition and I can belt that one out really well so here’s hoping🤞)

Aw! I get it. I've been doing theater since high school and I'm old now and I still get super nervous. The way to get over it is to KNOW your material and to practice it out loud. Then start doing to in front of people at home or in front of friends until it becomes second nature. You'll be great! and Break a leg!!

Sorry if you didn't get the role that you may have wanted but have fun being in the ensemble and be the best Beggar #1! There may be someone in the cast who didn't get any featured moment and would wish to be beggar #1. Make the best out of your experience with the show and always stay present in every scene - especially the ones where you're not featured. The ensemble is just as important as any of the lead roles. And most importantly just have fun! I wish you luck and enjoy!!

She probably looked awkward because the staging for that moment when Aladdin spins her is stupid. So she probably thought the same. She was a very good Jasmine actually. And these kids had only 9 rehearsals to put on this show which is quite impressive!!! Just 9 rehearsals! That's it!
