Annie eventually throws a contest to let Frank win. His manhood restored, he returns her love and they marry.
Audition Preparation Suggestions for
Annie Get Your Gun
Annie Get Your Gun has difficult regional dialogue. Becoming familiar with the script in advance will help performers to prepare for a cold reading.
The performer who plays Annie must have tremendous vocal and physical stamina, as she rarely leaves the stage for a breather. Many productions will cast an understudy or alternate.
Several production numbers are found in this show - dancers are needed for the chorus. In addition, dance experience for the leads would be a definate asset. |
