Audition Instructions.pdfEASY STREET (Rooster, Lily, Hannigan)
SING THE WHOLE SONG AS A SOLO
It ain't fair how we scrounge for three of four bucks
While she gets Warbucks. The little brat!
It ain't fair this here life is drivin' me nuts!
While we get peanuts she's livin' fat!
Maybe she holds the key, that little lady to gettin' more bucks
Instead of less... maybe we fix the game with something shady
Where does that put us? Give you one guess...Yes!
Easy street Easy street Annie is the key
Yes sirree Yes sirree Yes sirree
Easy street Easy street
That's where we're gonna... Be!
HARD KNOCK LIFE (Annie, Orphans)
It's the hard-knock life for us! It's the hard-knock life for us!
'Steada treated, We get tricked! 'Steada kisses, We get kicked!
It's the hard-knock life! Got no folks to speak of, so, It's the hard-knock row we hoe
Cotton blankets, 'steada wool Empty Bellies 'Steada full! It's the hard-knock life!
Don't it feel like the wind is always howlin? Don't it seem like there's never any light?
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in? It's easier than putting up a fight.
No one's there when your dreams at night are creepy!
No one cares if you grow or if you shrink!
No one dries when your eyes get wet and weepy
From the crying you would think this place would sink! Ohhhh!!!!!!!
I DON'T NEED ANYTHING BUT YOU (Annie, Warbucks)
SING THE WHOLE SONG AS A SOLO
Together at last! Together for ever!
We're tying a knot, they never can sever!
I don't need sunshine now, to turn my skies to blue
I don't need anything but you!
Yesterday was plain awful. You can say that again
Yesterday was plain awful But that's Not now That's then!
I'm poor as a mouse I'm richer than Midas.
But nothing on earth Could ever divide us!
And if tomorrow, I'm an apple seller, too
I don't need anything (anything, anything)
I don't need anything but you!
THINK I'M GONNA LIKE IT HERE (Grace, Annie, Servants)
SING THE WHOLE SONG AS A SOLO
Cecille will pick out all your clothes (Green is her best color, no blue I think.)
Your bath is drawn by Mrs. Greer. (Soap...no, bubbles, I think.)
Annette comes in to make your bed. (The silk, no the satin sheets, I think.)
I think I'm gonna like it here!
When you wake, ring for Drake, Drake will bring your tray
When you're through Mrs. Pugh comes to take it away.
No need to pick up any toys
That's okay, I haven't got any anyway.
No finger will you lift my dear
We have but one request Please put us to the test
I know I'm gonna like it here!
LITTLE GIRLS (Hannigan)
Little Girls, little girls...everywhere I turn, I can see them.
Little girls, little girls... Night and day I eat sleep and breathe them.
Some women are dripping with diamonds.
Some women are dripping with pearls.
Lucky me, lucky me! Look at what I'm dripping with!
Little girls!
Someday I'll step on their freckles
Some night I'll straighten their curls
Send the flood, send the flu-anything that you can do to
Little girls!
MAYBE (Annie, Orphans)
SING THE WHOLE SONG AS A SOLO
Maybe far away,
Or maybe real near by.
He may be pouring her coffee.
She may be straightening his tie.
Maybe in a house,
All hidden by a hill.
She's sitting playing pian-a.
He's sitting paying a bill.
Betcha they're young.
Betcha they're smart.
Bet they collect things like ash trays and art.
Betcha they're good.
Why shouldn't they be?
Their one mistake was giving up me...
So... maybe now it's time
And maybe when I wake
They'll be there calling me baby
Maybe...
NYC Star (s)To Be, Annie, Grace, Orphans)
SING THE WHOLE SONG AS A SOLO
N.Y.C The shimmer of Times Square
The pulse The beat The drive! N.Y.C
You might say that I'm square But wow, I come alive
The city's bright as a penny arcade
It blinks, it tilts, it rings
To think that I've lived here all of my life
And never seen these things
N.Y.C The whole world keeps coming
By bus By train
You can't explain their yen for... (NO NEED TO SING THE LAST "NY...")
TOMORROW (Annie, Orphans)
When I'm stuck with a day that's grey and lonely
I just stick up my chin and grin and say, oh
The sun will come out tomorrow So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow,
come what may! Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow
You're always a day away
Tomorrow, tomorrow I love ya tomorrow
You're always a day away ...
STAR-TO-BE (NYC) (SOLOISTS)
SING THE WHOLE SONG AS A SOLO
(Don't sing "By bus, by train" etc.... just start at "NYC, Just got here...")
N.Y.C Just got here this morning Three bucks Two bags One me
N.Y.C I give you fair warning Up there In lights I'll be
Go ask the Gershwins or Kaufman and Hart
The place they love the best
Though California pays big for their art
Their fan mail comes addressed to N.Y.C
Tomorrow a penthouse
That's way up high
Tonight The "Y"
Why not? It's N.Y.C!
