ANNIE JR

19 June 2022 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Written By: Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin

Creative Team: Director – Billie-Rose Russell
Musical Director – Nikki Long
Choreographer – Caley Watt


Based on the popular comic strip and adapted from the Tony Award-winning Best Musical, with a beloved book and score by Tony Award-winners, Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, Annie Jr. features everyone’s favourite little redhead in her very first adventure.

With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone’s hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. Annie is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of an orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. Annie eventually foils Miss Hannigan’s evil machinations, finding a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.

Repeated Fieldset #:0
Role Name: Annie
Gender: Female
Stage Age: 11
Role Information: Annie is a complex little girl. She is a 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. She has to be motherly, independent, overwhelmed, needy and hopeful for the future.
Vocal range: E5-A3
Repeated Fieldset #:1
Role Name: Named orphans
Gender: Undefined
Stage Age:
Role Information: The Orphans
Molly, Tessie, July, Duffy, Kate and Pepper. These girls are gritty, neglected and vulnerable, yet basically honest and potentially loveable.
Repeated Fieldset #:2
Role Name: Miss Hannigan
Gender: Female
Stage Age:
Role Information: 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.
Vocal range: D5-G3
Repeated Fieldset #:3
Role Name: Grace Farrell
Gender: Female
Stage Age:
Role Information: Grace is mature, calm, cool and “together.” She is classy and businesslike when dealing with Miss Hannigan and Warbucks, yet maternal toward Annie.
Vocal range: D5-A3
Repeated Fieldset #:4
Role Name: Rooster
Gender: Male
Stage Age:
Role Information: Rooster is flashy and self-assured. His “moves” should be as smooth as a gambler’s, as should be the message he sells in “Easy Street.”
Vocal range: Eb5-Bb3
Repeated Fieldset #:5
Role Name: Lily St Regis
Gender: Female
Stage Age:
Role Information: Lily (airhead that she is) is always distracted, although she manages to pick up on any conversation involving money. She never acts as the leader, always bringing up the rear while tripping over her own feet (it is difficult to walk and check your makeup in a compact at the same time).
Vocal range: Eb5-Bb3
Repeated Fieldset #:6
Role Name: Warbucks
Gender: Male
Stage Age:
Role Information: Warbucks must appear middle-aged, self-assured and confident. At first awkwardly affectionate toward Annie, he soon finds himself completely charmed by her.
