Annie Get Your Gun in School!

Hey...I too have landed the role of Frank Butler in our School Production! While I am not a womanizer as you put it, I have played roles in which you have to act like that! Just keep reading into the part as far as you can, and don't let anything really hold back....sooner or later it is just gonna kinda come to you, without you knowing it! That is the whole point of developing a character! Good-luck! Have fun!!

Thanks for the suggestions!

Hm, well, my high school will be putting on Annie Get Your Gun, in exactly one week and one day. So a week from tomorrow is opening night. Ack!

We just finished our production of Annie Get Your Gun on Feb. 28th. It went really good and it was such a fun musical to do! Especially the first shooting match. That part got the most laughs! Break a leg and enjoy your time as Frank!

BTW Joizey, does your production have the song 'Stop, Stop, Stop' in it? In ours we used it and Dolly was the one who sang it to Charlie Davenport, yet it wasn't on the cd? Just wondering if your production stuck that song in.

When do you perform it?

Our show is this weekend too!! It is gonna be terrible!!

is it UNTIL this weekend? is Elphie in it too?

Dolly sings this song Act 2, scene 3 On the deck of the cattle boat. It's the scene where Dolly, Charlie, and Chief Sitting Bull see Annie's gun... This song is sung only by Dolly to Charlie when she starts to like him. I looked up this song and I found out that it was called Stop, Stop, Stop (Come Over and Love Me Some More). I wasn't ever in Annie Get Your Gun, but was an old Irving Berlin novelty song. Here are the words...

[1st verse:]
Honey, there's something buzzin' 'round my heart
Something that must be satisfied
My dearie
See that Morris chair
Standing over there
There's some room to spare
Now for some love prepare
Make yourself comf'table before we start
Tie yourself right up to my side
Sing me that lovin' song that goes something like
Ummm, umm, umm, umm

[chorus:]
Cuddle and squeeze me honey
Lead me right to Cupid's door
Take me out upon that ocean called the "Lovable Sea"
Fry each kiss in honey, then present it to me
Cuddle and please me honey
Anchor at that kissing shore
My honey, stop, stop, stop, stop, don't dare to stop
Come over and love me some more

[2nd verse:]
Hon' did I hear you say you're going home?
Just 'cause the clock is striking nine
My dearie
That clock at its best
Is an hour fast
Eight o'clock just past
Stay, let the party last
Surely you wouldn't leave me all alone
Just for to satisfy the time
Sing me that lovin' song that goes something like
Ummm, umm, umm, umm

It's a really cute song between those two...
BTW check your private messages...I sent you a link to something.

I am glad it was a success! I bet you had a blast. Congrats.

Someone is doing ANNIE GET YOUR GUN?! In a high school!!!???

I am so offended! In this, the post-Columbine age, we must do what we can to keep guns out of high school! Someone start a letter writing campaign at once!! WHAT are we teaching our impressionable young people??!!!!

Lol, I should use one of the pictures from the show as my icon. There's this one funny picture of my face where I'm singing some strange vowel and my mouth has this strange shape.

Lol, unfortunately there are too many scary people on this board.
