[brOadWaytObE21]

I was wondering what part did you play in Annie? It could be your current role, or your first play ever, what did you play?

I played Annie! I was in 7th grade.

[MBoy]

Rooster, freshman year, had a blast

[frizzball724]

I played Pepper when I was in 6th grade.

And now I'm playing the Star-To-Be, Connie Boylan, and a servant (I'm in 11th grade).

[kimliesl]

Hmmm. Lets see, where to begin -

1st time, 6th grade - Orphan. Star-to-Be, Servant

2nd time, 7th grade - Orphan

3rd time, 8th grade - Hobo, Choraleer person on street and person in NYC, our director called us the teen chorus.

I am NEVER doing this show again!!!!!! My friend Heather screams everytime someone says, "The "A" Word". She's played Molly, been in the Ensemble and played Annie.

[Dauntless]

Rooster, 6th grade, loved it. Had "Easy Street" blasting in my head for months afterwards.

[brOadWaytObE21]

cool parts everyone!

lol im a dork!

*mh~

[Iolanna]

I played
- Star to Be
- one of the Boylan sisters
- Cecille (one of the maids)
- a hobo

It was at the start of this year (though it seems like ages ago now ... spooky), and it was a community theatre production.

[brOadWaytObE21]

cool, sounds good.

[drama_queen_3009]

I played Lilly last January had an absolute blast shes such a fun character to play!

[aktor28]

I wasn't old enough to be in the grade school musical (younger kids were in the straight show) so I helped on crew.

[idreamed]

I played Annie in 7th grade.

[brOadWaytObE21]

yeah, i bet lily was a fun part to play! Cool same as me idreamed! *

[Broadway112]

Lily St. Regis, this summer. I had soooo much fun My disguise was the best part!

[Papagena]

I played Miss Hannigan/ Star-to-be in 7th grade. It was a blast!

[MBoy]

[brOadWaytObE21]

yeah, that is an intresting change. Our "Duffy" doubled as "Star-to-be"

[MBoy]

So did ours . . .

[Broadway112]

So did ours....hmmm.....

[brOadWaytObE21]

lol, thats veerry weird.



What state you guys from? Im from NJ

[Alanna]

I don't think our Star-To-Be actually did anything else...musta been fun for her...heh.

I DSM'd the show, being unacty, and it was quite fun though I expected to hate its guts.

[MBoy]

[frizzball724]

Duffy and Star-To-Be?

I've always seen the Star-To-Be doubled as a Boylan or understudy for Lilly.

[brOadWaytObE21]

yes, i know! Its weird how theres people other then me saying that.

[drama_queen_3009]

yeh our star to be was also doubled as a boylan sister

[Broadway112]

[Brittannie06]

I played Annie twice, once when I was 14 and once when I was 15, I'm a midget lol so I got away with it! It was so fun, altho the red dress change was a little nerve racking...

[inlovewiththenardier]

When I was 10 I played annie. A few years later I got monsterifically tall and played Miss Hannigan.

[brOadWaytObE21]

I wish i was tall and could play an adult part. lol

*mh~

[just4fun]

I got a call from my friend who was choreographer for a local community theatre and ended up doing Bert Healy for the show in the last week before the show opened due to the original getting sick and having strep thoat. Luckily i had done the musical number before in a talent show.

[struckbyastar]

Hey, frizzball724, Im playing exactly the same parts as you, star to be, connie boylan and servant!! My shows soon, october 10th-16th...I love NYC, I have the stage to myself!!

[frizzball724]

Hey cool! And your signature says Pepper. Did you play her before? I ask because I played Pepper!

I unfortunately don't get the stage to myself. The director had this idea to have a dream sequence as I sing where I imagine myself dancing on Broadway. The choreographers got a little excited and put the girl dancing center stage and plopped me off to the side where no one looks at me. I'm a little dissapointed but I love my part.

[XConstellationX]

I was the Dog Catcher. Or maybe an apple seller or something? I really don't remember because I was 10ish.

[brOadWaytObE21]

The apple seller might even double as the dogcatcher

[Musical-Buff]

The Star to Be was the most awesome part to perform. It's such an awesome belting part of the show. I love it! What emotion and energy! I was so honored to play it! My director said to me when we were in rehearsals that the S2B was his favorite part of the show, and he really wanted to see it sparkle. I hope I did well. We have an intercom system so the actors in the greenroom/dressing rooms can hear where the show is so they don't miss an entrance. I was told by an orphan that all of the orphans stopped talking while I was singing and pretended to be me. I guess they liked the solo!

So, I was the Star to Be, maid, and a Hoovervillian. I think I was too "mature" to play an orphan...

Musical-Buff

[brOadWaytObE21]

lol..way to go!!

[aNGie_BaBY]

hmmm when we did "Annie" at school i was in year 8 and could not yet sing... i got a sympathy part in the orphans ensemble and named myself "sharnie megan"

well i had fun

[eponine4ever]

I am currently playing Annie in the Children's Playhouse of Maryland's production of Annie Jr. I'm 11 yrs old. its quite fun. we have practice toniht, im so excited. opening night in sumtime in the middle of november, i cant remember, i hope that doesn't make me look bad.

[Broadwaybaby777]

Annie was my first show... I played Kate when I was 3... It was a local children's theater... I got up to Miss Hannigan to drop the mouse down her shirt, but accidentaly dropped the mouse on the ground so I said "wait a minute!" to the audience to pick it up... lol

[tappinfeet183]

Yeah, I was double cast in a Servant and a Cabinet Member... I honestly have to say it pretty much sucked. It was at a very awkward stage where I was way too tall to be anything but an adult, yet not mature enough to be a big adult part (I was 12!!!) Add to the fact that I couldn't sing very well, and I got placed in the back, except for the Cabinet Scene, where I tried to act like an older woman but just kind of looked dumb.

What fond memories....

[zoomer15]

I played Annie in AnnieJr when I was in 5th grade
When I was in 7th grade I was an orphan in Annie.
It was a lot of fun!

[eponine4ever]

annie was my first show too, when i was 3. i am now playing annie in annie jr. i'm 11. ppl say thats too big to be annie, but the original says that annie is supposed to be 11 so screw them.

[Lead Player]

I played Warbucks in 8th Grade.

[TheatreLuvr4Life]

I played July and a movie star going into seventh grade (it was the summer of 2002)

[brOadWaytObE21]

How is 11 to old? I played Annie when I was 12!! I heard many older Annies!

[B_waystar2b]

I was Tessie but it wasn't a school production, it was professional. How many of ya'll did this at school???

[brOadWaytObE21]

Hey, where did you do your preformance?

[broadwayfreak67]

I've unfourtanly never been in Annie. I've seen in multiple times, but I've never been in it.

[aNGie_BaBY]

[Amber]

I had various parts in Annie, in a 2001 production. I was Bert Healy (although they changed the name to Bertha), Ronnie Boylan (in another night), a Hooverville-ite, and Judge Brandeis.

[Stargirl5]

In October I played the Star To Be (and had a blast...oh my God, I could go on and on about how I LOVED THAT ROLE). I also was Ronnie Boylen and a servant. (Community theatre, not school).

[TheatreLuvr4Life]

[FantinesDream]

I just finished playing Ronnie Boylan/ensemble and it was the greatest theater experience ever! Well, the show isn't the greatest show in the world, but it was my first regional theater experience so naturally I thought it to be amazing!! hehe

[missdiva]

I was a Boylan, too (Bonnie), and ensemble (servant, Hooverville, etc).

[mizzie]

I didn't get to play a part in Annie. But my cousin was Daddy Warbucks!

[centerstage08]

I just finished Annie last weekend and i was A orphan a bum a servent nyc dancer and lily . I was so busy and i was also costume manager so i had to make sure ppl had there costumes taken care of. But the show all together was great.

[act4ever]

Well, my performance of "Rooster" is over! It was so much fun... although I never want to do the show again (unless I'm the same role)!

[Twilight]

Well, I am currently doing Annie, and I play a Bum and Lily St. Regis. I didn't mean to try out for this show, and I didn't want to. But somehow, I just ended up showing up to Call backs, and since I'm remotely well known at the theatre, they just let me try out, and I got a role! I'm having fun with it, but at the same time, I am rather bored with it, and SO sick of Easy Street. But I'm sure that things will perk up once the shows really start. (this is Tech week, we open this thursday). But it's not at my school, it's a preety nice, well known regional theatre in the city. Wheee!

[Victor/Victoria]

I was Kate

[emilyjo]

I was a chorus member and got a part in the President's cabinet (can't remember my name!) and a solo in the pres. cabinet as well. The best part about this show was that my Dad was Pres. Roosevelt and my little sister was in it too. I actually dislike this show a lot, but I made some of my best friends in the ensemble that I am still best buddies with and it's been since the last summer.

[Eponine_Fantine]

[dramaqueen422]

I played Miss Hannigan in my senior year of high school

[Harmonia_G]

I played Annette the french maid just two monthes ago. big line: "The silk, no the satin sheets I think!"

[Mollysmom]

My daughter was Molly when she was 7 - such a cute role. It was so funny to see her imitate mrs. hannigan!

[broadway06405]

NYCer and FDR. ....bad memories.

[Luscious_Lily]

LILY ST. REGIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This year. Our production was last weekend. I'min 7th grade. It's sooooo hott because this is my first real play and the first time I ever auditioned and stuff and I GOT LILY!

[LesWickedPhantom]

Mrs Greer...this was last year.

you know the one..."Your bath is run by Mrs Greer!" "Soap! No, Bubbles I think."

My best friend was Annie...she was spectacular. but she was only the understudy...now, why couldn't the little girl with the flaming red hair and the outstanding mezzo soprano voice be the real Annie? I just dont get it. The casting was horrible for that show. And my dress was hideous...teehee...I'm glad I'm not in middle school anymore.

[brOadWaytObE21]

ha, that is so funny..my best friend was Mrs Greer, and I was Annie, but not the understudy.

[broadwaychild]

i was miss hannigan in annie jr in 4th grade. it was soo much fun

[Westendbaby]

I was Annie! Biggest part Ive been, that was 3 years ago though.

[shamrox817]

The summer going into 7th grade I played July.

[choochoo]

My very first show I ever did when I was ten I played Annie in Annie. then this past october I played annie again. I <3 this show it brings back so many wonderful wonderful memories. Just nobody start singing tommorow around me please. Ever. Again.

[choochoo]

[brOadWaytObE21]

OO! What grade are you in 8th?

[what_the_heck013]

Mr. Bundles... a long, long, long time ago.

[RainbowJude]

I was in the ensemble of Annie nearly a decade ago and I really enjoyed it. It is one of the busiest shows for an ensemble member (with a series of great numbers) and it's great not to spend hours in the dressing room! I particularly loved performing "Hooverville", "N.Y.C." and the "Tomorrow" reprise in the cabinet scene. In that scene, I was an Honour Guard and all I had to do was hold a flag and belt out the dominant seventh in the harmony section.



Later days
David

[choochoo]

[melbageek]

Welp, I got a call 2 days in advance to the show saying my acting company needed another chorus member. So I went. I was in every sogn I could possibly be in and then I was Star-to-Be in NYC. I'm a mezzo so it was terribly bad, but 2 days before the show? Yipes. The same acting company recently did "Annie Warbucks" a not too well known sequel to Annie. I was Mrs.Pugh(spelling on that one, my script is downstairs somewhere) Yeah, it's pretty cool though. Simon ( Warbuck's attorney) plots a scheme with commissioner Doyle and her Daughter to get Dyole's daughter to marry warbucks -- saying the adoption is illegal without a mother for annie... then they plan to kill him off... Annie runs away, Grace goes to work in Washington for the President, Warbucks almost marries a Con, he almost is shot.... It's a very interesting play to say the least. In the end Grace marries Warbucks and they adopt the rest of the orphans. Isn't it cute?

[candigirl1964]

i played annie...that was some fun stuff!!!

[StarliteDiva]

First I played Annie (age 13) and this summer I'm playing Grace (age 1

[!the-phantom!]

one production i played apple seller/bellboy

adn in another the theate wanted boy orphans so i was duffy

[kitkatchicka101]

1st: chorus of hooverville ppl (i didnt get to audition..it was late)
2nd: Kate

[lehcar178285]

right now im playing connie boylan and mrs pugh. im also in Nyc and Hooverville with the rest of the ensemble. the productions going kind of slow right now but it looks like it will all pull together... eventually. I never realized until now how difficult the boylan sisters parts are! PLaying the second soprano is not an easy task.

Also a side note... My director totally cut out the Star to be part after we all specially tried out for it and now he decided it will be a tap dance solo. Im quite upset, has this happened to anyone else?

[holdmebatboy2405]

i played understudy for annie the first time along with molly, appleseller, and a hooverville something-or-other. i got one show as annie and had a blast.

the second time, same company...and same members...i got annie as a doublecast. along with apple seller again and duffy. annie sucked the second time tyhough because of all the sandys we went through. but even though it sucked, it was still fun. i would never play annie again though.

a random question...

to all of those who have played annie out there, did it ever make you hate singing? our director made us belt every song to be true to the annie style, and i just got sick of singing.

..annie is a great show, dont get me wrong, it just made me, to this day, sort of, not completely, hate singing.

[eponine_loves_marius]

There is alot:
5 yearsold: Molly
10: Pepper
17:Hanigan

And I also directed that show for a childrens thearte also!

[sleepy7653]

bert healy ,harold ickes, nyc person, butler and hoovervillite...all in the same show

[ImatheatreGeek]

i played Pepper. and then they asked me to be the old lady who screams in NYC...ha ha ha fun stufff

[xxstar2be07xx]

hey i just got done doing this play! I was a hoovervillite (?), a servant, and a "rich person" in NYC. So basically, the ensemble lol

[tyleracts]

i played Lt. Ward, Jimmy Johnson, a bum, a servant, and henry morganthau in summer 2004 but summer 2005 i played Alvin T. Patterson in "Annie Warbucks"

[nat915]

I was Ms. Hannigan in a revue. We did Easy Street and I got to choreograph it as well. That was fun. I'd love to do the show so I could play the whole part.

[dramaluvergurl92]

ensomble orphan and understudied for the bigger orphan roles this summer

[kianra]

I played Bonnie Boylan. LOL! That was so fun... do do do do do do dodo...

[Eva]

When I was in 9th grade, I played Ronnie Boylan in our high school's production of Annie. It was one of those deals where the director cast pretty much everyone who tried out (regardless of singing/acting ability), so only a few of us got more than one ensemble role. (The girls, at least. The guys did some major doubling/tripling.)

[Zines]

WARBUCKS

[StarDreamer]

I played Annie in 2004 at age 15! I was a sophmore! hehe but the stage crew were arguing with me about my age! They said at the very most I was 12 lol.

[musicallover09]

i was the APPLE SELLER! a hooverite, a nyc people a servant and we had 2 backstage ppl a stage manager and her assistant so everyone had set changes in costume so i got to move warbucks "princess" phone as the director called it... Bret!

[allthatjazz]

I played MRS PUGH and STAR TO BE. But i wanted to be LILLY she was FAB! mind you, i loved playing the star to be, and Mrs Pugh gets some good dances!

[mcfly2015]

i will be playing: Sound Effects Man, Dog Catcher, Man #2, Servant and random Hooverville/NYC residents......i think the Sound Effects Man will be fun, am I right?

[musicallover09]

[happyguava]

I have been in this show several times. The first time I was a servant, second time I was Bert Healy *chuckles* and the third time I was the apple seller, star to be and Connie Boylan!

[Lousie]

I just tried out and got Cabinet member. Is that a big role. I think they sing,talk and dance but I don't know. I can't wait till practice starts .I think I 'm Lousie Howe . I don't know but I do know the first two letters of the name are Lo. I 'm in eigth grade and this is my first time doing Annie.
