"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 6/27/05 at 4:04pmGood god, Mackenzie Phillips as Lily?? Isn't she supposed to be relatively young and attractive? She be a better Miss Hannigan than a Lily. Why not just cast her as Annie instead?

There you can listen to Marissa O'Donnell (Annie) sing Good Morning, Baltimore. Not bad!

Posted: 6/27/05 at 4:26pmI personally think Annie is overdone. Why do certain shows keep coming back and others never come

Posted: 6/27/05 at 4:30pmMacKenzie Phillips as Lily? Does she have enough brain cells left to remember her lines?
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 7/7/05 at 5:37pmThat's a little harsh. She's worked hard to battle her way back from the edge(I know I sound like an afterschool special, but so what) and has done many tours, etc., recently. I agree Lily is a stretch, but if they played Lily as a somewhat older, been-around-the-block dame (like Julie Halston as Electra in the "Gypsy" revival) rather than the usual squeaky, sex-bomb Kristin Chenoweth interpretation, it could work.
I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song and a dance, what are we?/So I say "Thank you for the music/For giving it to me."

Posted: 7/7/05 at 9:00pmBarbara Erwin, the original Broadway Lily, had a bit of mileage on her. She went straight from ANNIE into BALLROOM as one of the 'older' dancers.

wow..I was called back 4 times for this tour as Lily (I have been Lily in several regional productions) and now I know why I didn't get it.
Good for Mackenzie Philips...she is 100% inappropriate for this role but whatever.
Martin Charnin is C-R-A-Z-Y in the head so I guess, somehow, Ms. Phillips fulfills his ideal of Lily.
(bitter...party of two,please!)
