Plot Summary & Audition Notes

List of Characters in Anne & Gilbert

 

Anne & Gilbert is a sequel to the first Anne of Green Gables musical.

This show is much more sophisticated and true to the novels than the first Anne musical. It is witty and fast-paced.

The music requires legit singers who can communicate lyrics well, as most of the songs in this show are providing important plot development. If auditioning with a monologue, choose something that shows a little humour.

Anne Shirley (Soprano, early 20s)
A young woman full of dreams.
Gilbert Blythe (Tenor, mid-late 20s)
A handsome, earnest, smart young man who is hardworking almost to a fault. Dreams of becoming a doctor.
Diana Barry (Mezzo/Soprano, early 20s)
Anne's loveable and loyal best friend. Bubbly, but also bright, she sees through Anne's stubborness.
 
Marilla Cuthbert (Alto/Mezzo, 50s-60s)
Rachel Lynde (Mezzo, 50s - 60s)
Josie Pye (Mezzo, late teens)
She has tried to turn Gilbert's head for years. Flirtatious and brazen, with a sharp tongue, but underneath it all a good heart.
 
Phillipa Gordon
a flirtatious, spoiled but good-natured college student
Moodie Spurgeon McPherson
old school chum of Gilbert & Anne's, future minister and fiddle player
 
Rev. Sloan
