| Breakdown
ANNIE (to play age 10-12) – A resourceful, optimistic child, strong-willed and determined. An independent spirit with a deep need to be loved; a singer/actress who moves well and is 4’10” or smaller. The role requires a natural and emotional honest acting style.
OLIVER WARBUCKS (Age 40s-50s) – A bombastic opinionated, successful businessman; a man uncomfortable in the presence of young girls until he opens his heart to Annie. Must sing well (Baritone to Gb) and portray this larger-than-life character with an unforced honesty.
MISS HANNIGAN (Age 40s-50s) – Cast (Sally Struthers)
GRACE FARRELL (Age 30-40) – Oliver Warbucks’ secretary and assistant; the first to see his softer side. Poised, sophisticated, and genuine. Strong singer (Soprano to Ab).
ROOSTER HANNIGAN (Age 30s-40s) – Miss Hannigan’s ne’er-do-well brother. A former jailbird and dangerous lowlife, always with a floozy on his arm. His current get-rich scheme requires posing as Annie’s nondescript father. Strong singer who moves well.
LILY ST. REGIS (Age 25-35) – The current floozy on Rooster’s arm; Flamboyant and frisky, the kind of gal who likes men in prison. Must pose as Annie’s sincere and earnest mother. Strong singer who moves well.
FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT (Age 40s-50s) – Wheelchair-bound President of the United States. Poised and forceful, yet self-depreciating. Actor who speak-sings.
MALE AND FEMALE ACTOR/SINGERS who move, all ages, to play a wide variety of ENSEMBLE ROLES, including DRAKE (Warbucks’ English butler, age 40-50), MRS. PUGH (mature cook of the Warbucks household), MRS. GREER (Warbucks’ housekeeper), BERT HEALY (popular 1930s radio personality/singer), FRED McCRACKEN (radio ventriloquist/comic), JIMMY JOHNSON (“Radio’s only masked announcer!”), THE BOYLAN SISTERS (three “sisters” who sing close harmonies in radio and commercials), A STAR-TO-BE (a Broadway hopeful who arrives in N.Y.C. with only a suitcase and a strong belt), HAROLD ICKES, FRANCIS PERKINS, CORDELL
HULL, HENRY MORGANTHAU, LOUIS HOWE (members of F.D.R.’s Cabinet and Staff), Policemen, Laundry Men, Dog Catchers, New Yorkers, Chauffeurs, Servants, and the homeless citizens of Hooverville.
6 GIRLS, 4’11” and smaller, to play, the ORPHANS, including DUFFY (age 12, biggest of the group), PEPPER (age 12, tough), TESSIE (age 10, the crybaby), JULY (age 13, the quietest), KATIE (age 7, good spirited), and MOLLY (age 6, the littlest of the bunch). All must sing and move very well.
