Audition Pieces
Annie - Maybe
Maybe is to be recorded and sent in prior to the audition. If successful you will be called to sing Tomorrow at the auditions
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

Annie - Tomorrow
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 ...
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 ...

Orphans - Hard Knock Life
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!

Hannigan - Little Girls
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!

(Sing everything as a solo)

Cecille will pick out all your clothes
Your bath is drawn by Mrs. Greer.
Annette comes in to make your bed.
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!

Rooster/ Lily - Easy Street
(Sing everything as a solo)
(Sing everything as a solo)
It ain't fair how we scrounge for three or 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!

Warbuck - I Don't Need
(Sing everything as solo)
(Sing everything as 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!
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!

I don't need anything but you!

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...
