Great writing, Great acting, Cliched, Dated, Unoriginal

See it if you really like Annie or have never seen a "first-classish" production of it.

Don't see it if you saw the Broadway revival and liked it. This is a saccharin Annie to be sure.

Let's Play OC!
May 17th, 2015
For a previous production

"The show itself was fantastic! I was blown away by the talent of the young actors, especially Issie Swickle, the nine-year-old that played Annie. I think my favorite character was Miss Hannigan; she was hilarious and full of vigor, it was hard not to take a liking to her...I was also very impressed with the flawlessness of the scenery changes. The scenes were gorgeous, and yet, so easily and fluidly changed."

For a previous production

"One of the world’s best-loved musicals is back in time-honored form. Directed by original lyricist Martin Charnin, this new production of 'Annie' will be a classic incarnation of the beloved original...All of the girls pull off pretty solid performances."
