Audition Music for Youth Auditions for Annie

  • If you run into ANY issues or are confused about anything, please do not despair! Just reach out to Director Sara Ward-Cassady at sara@vact.org and she will be happy to walk you through it or get you access to the music if you are having trouble accessing it.

  • To prepare for auditions, you must select ONE of the two songs listed below

    • Regardless of what role you are interested in (lead, supporting, ensemble), you should select ONE of the songs below to sing at auditions. The songs listed may be for different characters than you are interested in, but we are more interested in hearing you sing and getting the best sense of your voice, so listen to the songs and decide which option you think is the best fit for you and for your voice.

    • You MUST select one of the songs below to sing at auditions. You may NOT select a different song from the show or any other song. All those auditioning for the show must sing one of the songs below.

    • There is no need to prepare more than one song.

  • For whichever song you choose:

    • #1 is the sheet music marked with where you start and stop.

    • #2 is the cut of the audition song with the guide vocals, so that you can learn/practice the music with the words.

    • #3 is the cut of the audition song without the words - the performance vocals track. After you have listened to and worked with #1-#2, practice the song to the track in #3, the track without the words. This is the track we will use at auditions.

  • There will be different songs used at callbacks. Those who are called back will be notified by email after the second day of auditions on March 10 and provided with music for the callbacks. Only those called back will be provided with that music.
