• Annie will need a winter dress coat to wear over her orphan clothes.

• During the last half of scenes Annie should wear her trademark short-sleeved red dress with with collar. She should also have white socks and black shoes with straps. Her hair should be neat.

Orphans

• It is important the orphans look ragged and tough. The orphans might wear shirts and sweaters over skirts, smocks or flannel nightgowns; layering is very important – matching is not!! Their hair can be extremely unkempt.

• Hair accessories could be fashioned from ripped pieces of clothes.

• Molly should have a scruffy teddy bear.

Miss Hannigan

• Miss Hannigan should always look a bit out of sync with her surroundings. Her hair should look like she has just woken up. Her dress should gaudy and cheap (1930’s floral print) and perhaps have a slip hanging down from under the dress. Stockings should be rolled down and she should wear beads or a boa (along with a whistle on a rope).

• She will need a long coat when visiting the Warbucks mansion.

Oliver Warbucks

• He is always dressed formally, in a dark suit, white shirt and bow tie. A tuxedo jacket with black bow tie and cummerbund would be ideal.

• He also needs a hat (top hat) and coat.• Possibly use a rubber skullcap to create the

bald effect.

Rooster Hannigan and Lily St. Regis

• His costume should be as colorful as his personality. His hair might be parted and slicked back. A mustache would be appropriate. Rooster’s clothes should be gaudy. Suspenders, a fedora, and a money sign tie would be good. He will need a different jacket when he is in “disguise”. Possibly also wearing a pair of glasses with a fake nose attached.

• Lily should be outlandish and gaudy. A bright-colored dress with matching handbag and pumps are ideal. She will have a compact and lipstick in her bag. A bizarre wig can help complete the look.

Bundles McCloskey

• He can dress in a uniform shirt. For comic effect, you can pad his undershirt to create a potbelly. Pants and shoes should be of deliveryman variety with a casual deliveryman’s cap. A half-full laundry bag is ideal.

Grace Farrell

• She always dresses with thought • and style (possibly has a couple • outfits for the show). She should • look professional, possibly • wearing a suit and hat for her • first entrance.

Drake and Servants• Tuxedos or tails would be ideal for the male

servants. Plain white shirts with bow ties or ascots could be a good alternative. Drake can have a different tie or jacket to set him apart from the other servants. The female servants may wear a black skirt and blouse with a white apron from home.

• All servants need to be dressed and groomed neatly, with nothing out of place.

Dog Catcher and Sandy• The dog catcher’s costume should look like a

uniform – perhaps a dark shirt, matching pants and a hat with the words DOG CATCHER on it. He can also carry a big net.

• Sandy can wear a furry, hooded one-piece costume with floppy ears and tail.
