you never want to come to an audition in a costume
I agree
Why ?
Cause it is just kinda l ike your trying to hard
Well the girl in costume got a part in the show lol
What did she get
Lilly Mae is cute but she's obviously been told my her mum to smile all the time. It's so fake watching her. She's such a talented little girl but casting ask that people just be themselves
Chalron Bjork or she’s just really excited
It's not considered wise to wear a dress that looks the character but when you can sing that well and pick up choreography that fast I think they forgive you for it because she won the role of Molly and eventually took over the role of Annie . A lot of people on this thread are giving her a hard time just for her hair but it's naturally curly and she does stand out.
@@raea3588 Why did she take over the role of Annie? Did something happen to Issy?
Chalron Bjork ikr
I met her when I was nine when it came to LA. She was very nice and sweet and down to earth. She just happens to be a very cheery person like me! I would be like that if I got to audition for such a big show.
"Do you want to play Annie?" "YES." Such a definite answer! Love it!!!
Just her smile made me cry coz I felt so happy for her.
kamwrites ikr it made me laugh so much
i think her mom was more shook lol
2014 TH-cam : eh, let’s not recommend this
2020 TH-cam: ITS TIME
Kxlie&Squxd same
Lol to true!
Sunny has been in the show forever. Poor dog must be so sick of that song! Haha.
Isabel and Aubrey SANDY NOT SUNNY
Eloise Vloger Sunny is probably the name of the dog. It’s not actually named Sandy.
Eloise Vloger sunny is the name of the dog playing sandy
Isabel and Aubrey lol
Isabel and Aubrey lol but his name is not sunny it’s sandy
*lmao" when the girl went dead serious the second he said do you want to be Annie
Lol
I legit started crying when they told her she earned the role. She is so talented!
Same!😘😂
:(
OMG same they are so lucky
so did i
so did i
The girl in the Annie dress
Is a child
You are going on about a child over the internet
👍👍👍
So true
ok karen
@@frogmenstein2801 aight?
Frog Menstein ok zoomer
the little lady who is playing annie has the right talent and the attitude of annie
great voice too!
Smartie YT she doesn’t look like Annie tho
Smartie YT no, it’s because she’s confident. And her voice is less pitchy than the others.
shes bratty
Dachshundlover I don’t think she is
That girl in costume tried to hard lol
Raine Cramer she got molly and took over the role Annie later
Raine Cramer learn to spell
@@hannaholivia1300 why she they who cares about spelling not everyone is perfect
Hannah Olivia what did she spell wrong?
@@melaniedmdance4532 it should be too not to
Poor doggy looked confused to why kids were singing at him
anastasiagirl1342 He has been on broadway before.
I don’t think he’ll look confuse.
Her you mean
The doggy has actually been in more than 2000 shows I know because my child supervisor is child supervisor for Annie at the 5th ave and that’s the same sandy by the way I am at Seattle rep in a thousand splendid suns
I know sunny bcuz I’ve done Annie a bunch of times and he is not confused lol
Don't they normally have 3 or 4 Annie's because of school and stuff ?
That’s Matilda
Some shows do but some dont
Don’t forget that during this tour they did have online school, so she must have done that. But I’m pretty sure there was another girl who U/S (understudied) the role of Annie.
Umm I think that's only if it's a movie
H. Starkey On west end they do, not on broadway! The working conditions are (imo) better on West End... for the role of Matilda they share a part because that’s what the writer wanted and it’s a part of the shows image I think....
The girls mom seemed more excited then the girl when she got the role
The girl was clearly excited she just didnt know how to react
I feel like her mom tried 100 times and never got the part
She was definitely overwhelmed all she could do was smile
The rest of the girls: YESSSSSS
The girl that actually got the role: yes
"see these lovely locks?"
without hesitation: "Bye Bye!!!"
she's so adorable and mature at the same time
Couldn’t they have just tightly coiled her hair to the point where it looks like Annie’s I don’t get why she had to cut her hair
Gamer Kat Productions or a wig.
@@iiclassy7087 yah when u curl ur hair it sometimes looks shorter
when I was Annie (not on Broadway), the boy who was Warbucks was only 13 and he shaved his head. It was only a camp for 2 weeks so there was only 1 show, too. Dedication!
hallie ahhhh it was at camp lol camp kids r crazy (in the best way possible)
hallie Damn. The 13 y/o boys in my cast won’t even wear tights!
In my old Elementary School a 10 or 11 year old shaved his head to play Warbucks
we must’ve been in the same camp lol
What camp was it?
The girl that got Annie was wearing a sweater from Isabelle's collection from American girl
Mac Miller 35 like your welcome
Her name was Issie lol
omg i have it xD
Ok
4:51 her voice is so good and it’s not annoying like some of the other girls
100% I can understand why she got Annie
I also liked the girl at 4:45. i could definitely see her playing Annie.
@@soleil2934 she was casted as a orphan in the show, her sister also played kate on broadway :)
@@gingyinsert6158 wait really how do you know and who did she play???
@@Eloiseb09 she actually also played kate like her sister and understudied annie
the girl with the annie costume always be getting the spotlight shes litterally in almost every scene in this video😭💀
Yeah I understand with you
Carmen Ellen HAHA
I woulda picked her.
its so funny how she didn't even get the role as well😭
@@31oise she got in though she was also like 6. LOL. My sister is friends with her :,)
“Would you like to me in the play?”
“Yesss”
“Would you like to play Annie?”
*YES*
Sorry to be rude but I’m happy the kid who “looked” like Annie don’t get Annie
It’s Emmy She did. After 2 years, Izzy had grown out of her role and had started to get really bad reviews. Lily (the girl who dressed up as Annie) had gotten Mollie, but then she had because Annie because of the bad reviews
Ikr
It’s Emmy witch one is it
Kayla Xerri red dress curly hair
At that age, she was probably not just growing out of the role, but because her voice was probably also changing. I reckon it probably not anything the poor kid could control. Even the casting directors might not have been able to predict it. Every girl goes through puberty at a slightly different age.
THAT LITTLE GIRL WITH THE BRAIDS WHO GOT ANNIE WAD HILARIOUS! SHE WAS SO SASSY
she puts her hands under chin like hell yeah im annie you bet it
It was so cute
haha my dad spoke I was in this video the one with the blue shirt and pigtails😂
Did you get into the cast as an orphan? Hope you had a good time! (:
That's funny:)
Did you get in?
I did not make it 😪
Aww never mind. I expect you'll get a different job soon :)
Lol "you can't get anything out of her"
Dr. Sid 75 like
;-;
4:46 I feel like she would have been an awesome Annie
Yes I thought the same thing
Ikr!
that’s sydney shuck. she is so talented
Never come to an audition in costume NEVER
honestly the kid that was dressed as annie was probs forced to by her mother
When a bunch of 7 year olds are more talented than you...
Issie was so adorable when she got the part. It makes me cry. She is so talented
amberfirexx9 spoiler..
Y’all all like “Lily Mae seems like a brat” or “Lily Mae is so fake”. I mean why are you gonna talk bad about a girl you don’t know and only see her in like 3 parts???
I feel like her stage parents pushed her into it
The dog is even real and of course trained, right?
+marisa liu Absolutely!
TheBalancingAct Oh cool
marisa liu
Yes, the dog actually came to my school and performed in our Annie performance last year
@@AmericanGirlGymnasts Same! Sunny is currently at my highschool. Our first performance is tomorrow night!!! I'm the assistant dog handler so I get to cuddle her a lot backstage :) She's the best
They had to hire someone whose family was rich enough to could afford to go on a non-Equity tour for 2 years. The salary barely covers expenses.
Mrs. OlLady the kids get paid a lot
Mrs. OlLady whats a non equity tour
@@caligal1090 the actors aren't covered by the union. so they get less rights. But the parents usually don't go on these things. they just visit. They must be really scrimping if the girl's mother is coming instead of hiring a guardian. But her contract won't be for two years even if the tour is. Children grow too much to get such long contracts.
As an actress,I would never come in costume.For instance,when I went to Peter Pan auditions,I did dress more masculine(I'm a girl),but I didnt come in a full costume.I see kids come in similar clothes,like at into the woods,girls will wear red a lot,but they don't come in a full outfit.Its hard,and to many directors,managers,etc.,it looks like a grab for attention
TH-cam recommended in 2014:
TH-cam recommended in 2019: watch this random video of an Annie audition!
0:54 unibrow sisters😂😂
OMG😂
IM DYING OML
Lol that is hilarious especially the older one
Rofl!🤓
I know I shouldn't because they're kids but I literally died of laughter😂😂😂
Imagine sending girls home, it would be heartbreaking
Unfortunately they can’t all be in the musical it is sad but they must be in their way
It was kinda scary that they were smiling the whole time
That mother who put her daughter in Annie costume literally tried her best lmao
At 2:52 I thought she was about to sing AHHH SEVENYAAAA from lion king
Lmfao
So cute how the parents were more emotional than the kid. It shows how proud they are. Those parents who support their kids dreams are just the best
The girl with the curly hair and red dress. Wouldn’t stop smiling and it wasn’t getting so annoying and awkward. Like chill.
0:36 left corner
That looks like Mackenzie Ziegler
EchoLPS I was just to say this I keep replaying it it looks so much like her
If you mean the girl in the yellow top it’s definitely not her
EchoLPS THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING
It does but I don’t think it’s her.
The little girl at 2:30 looks like Shirley temple
Veronique Cantin The little girl does
Veronique Cantin W
Yes was trying to look like Annie. She dose also look like Shirley temple
Ikr
"Would you like to play Annie-" "YES."
The little girl who got Annie COMPLETELY deserved it. She has just the right attitude and she is SUPER talented!!
Why did they keep zooming on that little girl who came dressed as annie
I thought the kid in the Annie dress was already Annie 😂
Did anyone notice issie was wearing something from Isabelle GOTY 2014's collection
Candlehead 55 omg that’s why it looked familiar!! 😂
41 she was trying to kiss up by wearing the Annie dress
The first girl with the dog that had the ginger pigtails was an absolutely fabulous singer!!
That's Sydney Shuck, she eventually got Kate (one of the orphans). Her younger sister Brooklyn played Kate on Broadway.
Lilly Mae wouldn't stop doing that creapy smile
when a kid dresses up as annie thinking shes gonna get the part
jordan elliott she actually got Molly
Clare Grace thats good
And two years later she got Annie
I landed annie in my play annie jr
thanks!
-DA CAT- Congrats! I got Miss Hannigan :-)
OMG Warriors!! i got pepper
OMG Warriors!! Me too! We even had a real dog!
I got Duffy :(
The girl who got it , just seemed what her parents wanted
I was so happy for her when she got the role. Her reaction was so sweet
The little girl in the costume, that everyone is talking about, actually got in the show. She played Molly.
She has to cut her hair😢
Cristina Santos getting great roles mean you have to give something up, but it's always nice, because you get something great in return
Cristina Santos Ye I would love that but I'd HATE to cut my hair!!😫
Cristina Santos yeah and they dyed it red too. It looked really ugly (no offense)
Cristina Santos they give you wigs
No she doesn’t it’s called a wig and she won’t have to dye her hair either
Annie from Broadway is coming to my local theatre and now I want to convince my mom to see both Matilda and Annie!
I’m audition for Miss Honey in my schools production of Matilda. Oof I’m really scared
@@sophiesings5285 I played Miss Honey for my school and it was so fun!!
Oh my god totally cried when she got the role
0:36 looks like Mackenzie Z from Dance Moms behind the reporter. The one with pigtails
I can’t even number she’s wearing it in the first couple of seconds of the actual audition is it just me or is Mackenzie Ziegler there
OMG that is her! 😳
Time stamp?
about 35 seconds in. She's in dark yellow. And then a few snippets in the dance audition.
@@jessfidler2356 0:36 the one with the pigtails
It's not her
The girl in the Annie costume is so annoying she’s just always forcing herself to smile
It’s probs her mum doing that or some sort of teacher or agent
Let’s be serious you don’t show up to an audition in a costume dressed up as the character yoyr going for
I tried out for local Annie!!!🤗 wish me luck I have been so over whelmed with anxiousness!!!!!
Did you get it?
^
The amount of respect I have for how they handle working with these children. Particularly how they go about asking the child if she actually wants to play Annie. Not being "Congrats you got the role!" But asking her if she genuinely wants to be a part of it. How he then asks again. And then asks about her being comfortable with the hair change. So often kids wellbeing is overlooked in this industry.
You don’t know how narcissists operate. He wants her to beg. He’s feeding off of his power and her reactions. Congratulations would have been more adult and appropriate. You don’t do that to an adult, touching their braids. He needs to go.
I love the girl who got it
Who also thought that the person with curly hair would be annie
Omg that poor dog 4:51 having those kids screaming “TOMORROW” at her lol
the expression on her face was just like "dafuck?"
5:41 her parents dream? or hers?
iixpepsxii hers
why have i watched this 72 times
Same
it's so cool how Brooklyn was Kate in the Broadway version and now Sidney is Kate in the traveling show, that must be one talented family
Yep! I saw Brooklyn as Matilda!! And their younger sister Raleigh was Cindy Lou who in the grinch tour too!!!
A very talented family, and both Brooklyn and Raighleigh are now in the pre-Broadway run of Beaches! I hope it goes to Broadway and they both keep their roles!
and brooklyn was in the ferryman!
brooklyn is the IT girl of young broadway. 7 pro shows under her belt before high school. the whole family is incredibly talented
@@kyleesmith3899I honestly can't think of another child who's done that many Broadway shows as a minor. She just kept booking roles!
I love how the girl who gets Annie is just in shock because she’s so happy!
Believe me i act NEVER go inyo an audition looking like the character the casters will think that you are desperate for the role. Sorry girl
Yay a Florida girl won the role!
Does anyone know the height you have to be to be one of the orphans
Usually under 5"0, but it depends on the height of the adult actors.
+idklucy hey Lucy
+Chloe Lynch well hello
Hahahahaha I could be an orphan than
Caroline BVHS2019 Tesoro damn! I’m one inch too tall! Lol
Literally all the comments are about the girl in the Annie dress 😂😂
I love that you just get a random shot of bailey Ballinger despite the fact it’ll be 4 years till she gets it
Lilly Mae is so cute, the entire time she was smiling ;0;
NEVER go to an audition in a costume.
0:53
sis they both have unibrow's I'm sksksksksksksksksksksksksks
Nova Eh ya
Yes I am dumb but are y’all talking about 2:29 because she looks a lot like Annie right now
Edit:Oh wow it was so heartwarming when the girl got to play Annie
Is it just me, or does anyone else remember the line from the movie being ‘it’s A hard knock life’ and not ‘it’s THE hard knock life’ ? quarantine has me going crazy
I’ve literally watched this like 30 times
I love how her parents were hugging and she was just standing there staring into space
Never wear a costume to practice somebody already said the this but reason one: no it seems like you're trying too hard you need to try hard only by practicing and singingit it's not about the looks
Reason 2: it looks kind of weird and they just want you to dress normal
The way how Issie didn’t get too excited shows how modest she is.
Okay but the girl singing at 4:45 is great
It made me smile so big when that kid was picked.
The real star of the show is obviously....
Sunny
The way she said buh bye sounded like the og Annie but like imagine being the girl that came dressed like Annie and didn’t even get to play it
I remember being in Annie. It was my very first big musical I’ve EVER got accepted into. It was absolutely AMAZING! I was an orphan. It was at a high school. They were putting on a production of it and they needed young girls to play the role of orphans. And I got chosen to be one of them. It was absolutely so much fun. I was actually obsessed with Annie since I was like two or three years old, and then years later that became my very first big production I’ve EVER done. Thanks to that wonderful experience, I’ve been accepted in many productions. I’ll keep on performing for as long as I can. I love musicals, and I’d like to be involved in many more whenever I get a chance.
5:02 me when I’m in a mood and see a pic of my enemy in the yearbook
Isn't this the same director from the 1997 auditions?
Got chills. They're all so talented for being so young. The girl who won had the best voice.
I’m likes Children and baby Ashley likes see children so cute singing and dance
0:36 the girl on the left in yellow looks like Mackenzie Ziegler
0:54 pause, those girls have unibrows
I could tell who’s gonna get Annie from the start
Lily-Mae's mum : SMILE and lock it in.
omg, I'm so proud of the girl who got it. the few seconds we heard of her singing was amazing. She has such a nice personality and geez she was so damn cute
