http://anniethemusic...yauditions.html

Open auditions will be held at the QPAC Cultural Centre Forecourt South Bank this Sunday 12 February for talented dogs to play Annie's beloved pup 'Sandy' in the Brisbane season of Annie.

To be eligible for selection applicants need to be well-trained, medium sized, sandy/light red coloured dogs aged between 12 months to 5 years.

The producers of Annie are hoping to find confident, outgoing dogs that are great with children and are not noise sensitive, all of which are essential to perform in front of packed houses on a nightly basis.

Owners must be prepared to hand over their dog to the show's highly qualified trainer for the duration of the Brisbane season, from 27 February at the earliest, dependent on training level. Only dogs who are well trained prior to auditioning with the ability to learn quickly need apply.

Based on the Harold Gray comic strip "Little Orphan Annie" the musical Annie burst into popularity in 1977 when it opened on Broadway. After running there for nearly six years, it has played in over 22 countries worldwide including the UK, Argentina, Japan, Germany, Sweden, Spain and Australia. Annie became a smash-hit movie in 1982 starring Aileen Quinn, Albert Finney and Carol Burnett that is adored worldwide and a fixture of popular culture references.

Auditions are open on Sunday 12 February 2012, with registration forms available for owners to fill in on arrival from 12 noon to 4pm. Enquiries should be directed to [email protected].
