| The Streetcar Company casts “Annie” The musical strands of “It’s A Hard Knocks Life” were filling the First United Methodist Church halls last week as the newly selected cast of The Streetcar Company’s spring musical ‘Annie’ started rehearsals. Over 30 young ladies auditioned for the roles of Annie and the other orphans and director J Alward along with musical director Phil Breton had a very difficult time narrowing down the field of talented girls to the appropriate number. “I wish I could have cast them all”, said Alward, “but we knew that was not a possibility and I certainly hope all these girls come out again for future shows.” Selected for the pivotal role of the little red haired orphan was Sharleigh Thomsom of Danbury. A seasoned performer at only 12, Thomson has appeared in numerous theatrical productions over the years and was thrilled to be selected to be Annie. “It’s been my lifelong dream to play Annie”, she remarked, “and I’m really excited”. Her fellow orphans will be played Aly Mullett, Sophia Joyal, Kayla Zarella, Rebecca Turmel, Cecilia Zarella, Rebekah Roy, Hayley de Sousa, Livie Martinson, Allie Dennis, Alexa Dembiec and Camryn Dembiec. Taking on the role of Daddy Warbucks is Johan Andersen with Aime White as his girl Friday, Grace Farrell. Patte Sarausky is featured as Miss Hannigan, Annie’s nemesis at the orphanage, with Scott Alward and Erin Lovett Sherman portraying Rooster and Lily, Hannigan’s brother and his girlfriend. Lovett Sherman will also be putting the cast through their paces as choreographer. The ensemble features Jane Charland, Carolyn Desrosiers, Doug Embree, Lena Luongo, Braeden and Riley Alward, Peter Ayer, Holly Mullett, Wendy de Sousa, Simone Henderson, Ray Fiola, Lynn Dadian, Matt Demko and Tom Thomson. Based on the popular Harold Gray comic strip Little Orphan Annie, with book by Thomas Meehan, music and lyrics by Charles Stouse and Martin Charinch, “Annie” has been delighting audiences since it first appeared on The Great White Way in 1977. Winning the Tony for best musical set it up for a long run on Broadway as well as paving the way for numerous productions in many countries, as well as national tours.
