Singing Audition for "Annie" Play

(Mezzo-Soprano): Annie (character age 11, will consider actors ages 12-17.) is a complex, tough, streetwise urchin who is nevertheless vulnerable when she thinks she might lose what has become most important to her: a newfound “family” who loves her. Although she is at times aggressive or crafty, the audience should never doubt Annie is a friendly and caring person; she will go to any extent to gain the love of a family to which she can belong.

(Alto): This woman is definitely a "has-been." Her distaste for her job and the children that are part of it should be obvious in every line she speaks, every song she sings and every move she makes.

(Baritone): A billionaire businessman who opens his home and eventually heart to Annie. He is self-assured and confident. At first awkwardly affectionate toward Annie, he soon finds himself completely charmed by her.

(Soprano): Warbucks' secretary, who loves Annie. She is classy, sophisticated, mature, calm, cool and "together." She is businesslike when dealing with Miss Hannigan and Warbucks, yet maternal toward Annie.

(Tenor): Miss Hannigan’s disreputable brother; Flashy, self-assured, hardened con-man always looking for a quick buck. Seeking a strong dancer.

(Soprano): Rooster’s girlfriend, distracted airhead, and a bit bumbling. Seeking a strong dancer with comic sensibilities.
