Playing Daddy Warbucks

I got cast as Daddy Warbucks in a production of ANNIE and I was wondering if anyone out there has a copy of the script that they could email to me.

The production is in December and rehearsals don't start until October, but I want to get a head start.

You can always learn your lines- when are you shaving your head??

Tomorrow, of course.

Doesn't your director have MTI librettos or a perusal script for you?

I was Daddy Warbucks once. With slicked back hair. And a tie with dollar symbols all over it.

Want my script? They added some songs into our production. One called "Money" about how money makes the world go round. And another called "Pirallis Miracle Elixer."

As someone who played Warbucks many, many years ago: shave your head NOW. You've got to expose the shaved part of your head to daylight so its color can catch up to the rest of your complexion.
Makeup doesn't really cover it that well.

I'd help you out with the script bu mine is long since gone.

I would much rather see you playing Annie or Miss Hannigan

Don't joke. I'd LOVE to play Miss Hannigan!

I will play Rooster. That would be a rip

Ahem....Rooster is a role that requires talent, and that's not something you can purchase at the local Dollar Store, Roxy.

If you can do it anyone can

Excuse me, Mr Roxy. I am an ARTIST. Let me spell that for you: A-R-T-I-S-T, not some foolish doxie who think's it's "fun" to step out on stage and have the audience adore you.

If you want the latter, go see PB ENT (may she rest in peace). She thinks everything about theatre is "fun".

Money, it may not buy you talent, but it can buy you a Golden Globe!

I was joking Dolly. My stage experiences are as follows:

1. In elementary school, I played a french villager in The Song Of Bernadette. I had no lines other than to mumble & to look up in awe.

2. In a High School talent show, I did the Bob Newhart USS Codfish routine while in a civil air patrol uniform . They could not get anything else & figured it had stripes so no one would know.

This will be my only stage experience.

The best Daddy Warbucks and quite sexy I might say was Patrick Quinn, former AEA pres. R.I.P. @ the Walnut St. Thea.

Of course I think theater is fun. It's never work for those of us who enjoy it from the seats...even more fun to review it!

Dolly, you're an artist allright.. lol! I shall have to name a seashell after you. That's what we foolish, fun loving people do all summer.

>>>"...you're an artist allright.."<<<

Check your spelling, babe.


I truly resent the implication that I'm not sexy. You've never met me (And it'll stay that way, thank you very much!), so you can't judge.

Just for the record though, I'm breathtakingly handsome and have the grace of a gazelle.

Dolly, you're such a tease! I have no interest or comment about your looks, even if you do have the 'breath of a gazelle' and the 'grace of a hamster'.

All I know is Patrick Quinn was one handsome man, hairy or bald...a great Daddy Warbucks and charming to talk with.
How sad that he has left us.

Wasn't Victor Mature a handsome fellow too? Wonder what Broadway roles would suit him?

[Dollypop]

Victor Mature died one year ago this month. Why are your trying to cast in in Broadway roles NOW?

You really are one dizzy b1tch.

[PB ENT.]

Posted: 8/31/10 at 7:08pm

::Sigh:: Of course he's dead since about 1999. I think he would have made a dreamy Emile DeBecque (did I spell that right
DP?).

Dolly, life is too fragile to be so serious. I'd rather be a dizzy b1tch than a bizzy ditch. BTW, calling me babe was pretty funny!

How about Gene Autrey, I used to love him as a little girl. Maybe a male lead in Oklahoma?

"Money, it may not buy you talent, but it can buy you a Golden Globe!"

Just thought of this song, "Money Can't Buy You Class," sung by Satan's BFF. Also know as a Real Housewife of New york. It's like Auto-Tune took a **** on someone's vocal chords.

Sorry to threadjack :)

I just got cast as Rooster. We start rehearsals next week and the show opens in November. I don't have the script yet...I just wanted to say that. Lol

My happiness for you is unbridled.

LIGHTBOY< I like the intro of Caberet into Annie....."and now introducing the Orphanage girls! Each and everyone a virgin!!! You dont believe me? Ask Pepper!" Miss Hannigan singing Mein Herr to Oliver. And of course changing the popular ad nausea song to "Tomorrow belongs to me."

its lightGUY, thank you very much.

And I was thoroughly entertained by your comment.

Now we have to quibble about the difference between a "boy" and a "guy"? Oh, how complicated life becomes!
