Based on the vintage comic strip “Little Orphan Annie.” This story of a girl determined to find her parents against all odds has become one of the most popular musicals of all time.

 

Character Descriptions

Annie (Age: 10 - 12, mezzo) – Annie 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. Throughout the show she shows independent, needy, maternal, and

hopeful qualities. Although she is at times aggressive or crafty, there is no doubt that

Annie is a friendly and caring child.

Miss Hannigan (read 35-55, mezzo) – Miss Hannigan is the evil orphanage matron. Her distaste for her job

and the children is obvious in every move she makes. She is predictable and funny in

her ridiculous, cruel ways.

Oliver Warbucks (Read 40 to 60, baritone)– A powerful, self-assured billionaire who always has his mind on

business. While sometime gruff and abrupt he has a kind heart. At first he is awkwardly

affectionate toward Annie, but he soon finds himself completely charmed by her.

 

Grace Farrell (read 25 to 35, Soprano)– She is the beautiful and loyal private secretary to Oliver Warbucks.

Grace is mature, calm, and classy. She is businesslike when dealing with Miss Hannigan

and Warbucks, yet maternal toward Annie.

Rooster Hannigan ( read 20 to 40, character voice)– Miss Hannigan's despicable brother. Rooster is flashy and selfassured.

His “moves” are as smooth as a gambler’s, sly, and deceiving.

 

Lily St. Regis ( read 20 to 40, soprano)– Lily is Rooster’s airhead girlfriend. She is always distracted, although

she manages to pick up on any conversation involving money.
