    It really depends on your height, look, and sound. For example, on Broadway and in professional tours of the show, Annie usually ranges from 10-13 or so. However, in community theater, I've come across actresses who are 16 but are quite small and have high voices, so they can play children's roles easily. You'd be amazed at what the right costumes and wigs can acheive! So it comes down to who the rest of the cast is and how the person fits with them.

    under no circumstances. in case you have considered Annie she is physically powerful approximately in that age group and that i might say you have a large risk at making the minimize. i might purely be sure you get into the character of Annie as she is a tough place to play. she would be able to additionally be in extreme call for cuz she is the main character. attempt your appropriate and that i wish you success!

    Oldest? A young-looking (and short) 25-year-old could do it. Youngest? A mature-sounding (and more importantly, acting) 10 year old.

    But it depends on the girl, of course!

    The THREE Annies on the Cast live in fear of the day they get THEIR FIRST PERIOD... when that happens THEY ARE OFF THE SHOW.. there is on ONE SINGLE ANSWER to your question.. It's the PERIODS that end a girl's career.. And IT'S SUDDEN.. There are several stories about girls who performed the show and got CUT from the CURTAIN CALL... it really IS just hat quick and ruthless.

    Oldest: 10-11 (before puberty)

    Youngest: 6 (any younger would be really weird)

    Hope this Helped!

    Probably about eight to twelve is what I'm guessing. If she's short she might be able to pass as Annie at thirteen. And eight-year-olds probably aren't the greatest actors. Who knows?

    i suppose it depends on how tall you are and how well you can act. the youngest maybe 8 or 9 and the oldest maybe 15 or 16? i hope that helped!
