I took my daughter to see Annie for her 8th birthday. She had watched the
Movie a hundred times and despite my warning the the musical would be different from what he had expected, I think she (and I) were slightly disappointed by some of the changes. We missed some of the classic movie songs, particularly "lets go to the movies" and "dumb dog". We thought Jane Lynch made a great Hannigan., despite the fact that she was more a "rough around the edges" Hannigan and not the "boozy, floozy" character that Carol Burnett portrayed. Overall we had a great night. The theatre itself was great, big enough and yet maintained that very personal, up close feel. I would recommend this for any young theatre go-er, just be sure to warn them, this is NOT your movie "Annie"
