Wouldn't Herbert be more interested in Oliver?

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

You could not count me an “Annie” aficionado before I saw its third Broadway production, which has opened tonight. “Annie” to me conjured up nothing but “Tomorrow” sung badly by generations of cloyingly precocious girls. But then again Sandy meant something different then as well.
Now, when Annie tells a cop that weather doesn’t bother her and then she sings to Sandy (!) that the sun will come up, well…as a nearby theatergoer Tweeted during intermission: “I can’t believe some sentimental clown kept crying during the first act of Annie, or that it was me.”

Jordan---you made my day---that is hysterical! :)
What is in Ben Brantley's head????
I enjoyed Annie---saw it Wednesday--very good cast (I saw Taylor Richardson as Annie---her performance was very strong, IMO) Loved Wardlow---(altho' now I think of him as Herbert)

I thought the overture was restored--did they cut it back down to half? Or was the "restored" overture only half-there to begin with?

Even the dog playing Sandy is very skeptical of this production!

I am so glad this production of ANNIE received more positive than negative reviews because I felt that the majority of this board was expecting overall negative reviews so they could go off on a rampage. Glad they didn't get the chance.

Oh CarlosAlberto, how naive you are. Why on earth would that stop them?

Wow, Ben Brantley's review rubbed me the wrong way. That's kinda rude to what he was alluding. Come on, it's freakin' ANNIE!

And, I'm glad this production is getting great reviews. Just like CarolosAlberto stated, people here were expecting negative reviews, so I'm glad it didn't turn out that way. Good for the cast, crew, and production team!
