One Jump!






Here's some help for you →
Mrs. Neel will email a version to print and highlight. Bring it to the next rehearsal.







Lyric/Line                                                    Direction
Baker
Thief! Thief! Someone stole my bread!


Grocer
Someone stole his bread!


Aladdin
Mmm, sourdough!


Aladdin, Jasmine
Gotta go!


All- begin moving into a fairly straight line across the stage, looking for the thief. Interested in the excitement.


*Emma- you will be able to go down the steps one or two steps and give yourself some more room to maneuver


One Jump (rest) ahead of the bread line,
All- on the rest, jump back one jump, exposing Al.
One swing (rest) ahead of the sword
Derik- on the rest, ONE swing /  Al- jump
I steal only what I can’t afford
Al- to Derik
And that’s everything
Al- to audience
One jump
Grp 1 jump left on lyric / Alby- x to L of Al
Ahead of the law-men
Grp 2 jump left on lyric / Alby, Derik & Al we will set a pattern
That’s all
Grp 3 jump left on lyric
And that’s no joke
Grp 4 jump left on lyric
Most guys don’t appreciate I’m broke
Al- to audience
All- disperse (this is normal, shopping is more fun)
Baker & Grocer- move to L & R of Al
Riff-raff!
Shout the line at him then IMMEDIATELY turn & x up
Street rat!
Shout the line at him then IMMEDIATELY turn & x up
Scoundrel!
David kick DL
Take that!
Alec kick DR
Just a little snack guys?
Al- to David and Alec
Rip him open, take it back guys!
All- turn to Al
Audry- x to R of Al & grab the bread
I can take a hint, gotta face the facts.
Al- to townspeople
Jump Ropers- you’re gonna do ring around the rosie
Now you see what I go through!
Caught in the middle of ring around the rosie
Ooh!
Attendants and Ellen- See Al and point. Make sure you are a step downstage of the all the others.
Oh, it’s sad Aladin’s hit the bottom. He’s become a one man rise in crime.
Atts- x to R of Al
Ellen- x to L of Al (x upstage of him)
I’d blame parents except he hasn’t got em
Sultan, Iago & Jafar- en on balcony
Raz & Gs- Make sure you are JUST up of Al, but talking together and not paying attention to him, so that when he exits the audience will be able to see you easily.
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat, tell you all about it when I got the time.
Al- to the girls, as a way of saying “See ya!”.
After line ex L


Sultan
You see Jasmine?...
Where is Princess Jasmine?? The Princess is missing!


Razoul
She was right behind us, wasn’t she?


Iago
Well, she’s not here now!


Sultan
Well, she’s not here now! Jafar! Do something!


Jafar
Find the Princess, you fool! Immediately!


Razoul
Find the Princess, you fools! Immediately!
