I would agree

If you don't mind taking it as it turns out, it's a fine, fine LIFE!

I think you should see the production first before lobbing "money grabber," "wish the production had the balls to do something different" and "isn't some revival that's trying to reinvent the wheel" at it.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

cant wait to hear everyones complain about changes once they see the show, and se how different the revival actually is.

smaxie - I believe each new production should have a new logo. That's just my opinion. The only time I can understand using the same logo is for a replica production (the most recent revival of A Chorus Line).

In the case of Annie, though, that font was used for the comic strip for its entire existence and for many, myself included, it's as iconic as Annie's red dress. Since the show has used variations on it as well for 35 years, it is now associated just as much with the show as the strip. You see it and know it will be Annie, regardless of whatever differences are in store with the new production. I can't think of any strong reason why changing it would be as effective.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Is it possible that the part of the rights demand professional productions use that logo, so to reinforce the Annie brand or some crap like that?

I actually kind of wish they had taken a more retro route with this logo -- something a bit more faded, closer to the original comic font, to underscore the historical element. I hope the revival plays up the Depression-era milieu.

Some of that merch looks really horrible, although, I'm probably not the target demographic for most of the stuff on there. I did notice they had nothing in the "media" section. You would think that they would maybe have the OBC there? (Or maybe the 30th Anniversary Tour CD). I wonder if they plan on doing a new recording then? Of course, Anthony Warlowe already did a recording of Annie also for the Australian production...

^I was surprised the Australian production cut the song that was actually written for him. As far as I know that song was originally written for Warlow and he's never recorded it.

Can't they just use the board War Horse has? It be nice if they could get all three and have a larger marquee like All Shook Up did.

The Annie logo, no matter how iconic, looks lazy and downright creepy. Just because gingers don't have souls doesn't mean they don't have eyes.

WOW, I think I have seen some of that merchandise at my local $1 store here in CA.

Um, the show is downright creepy if you really break it down.

No matter which way they go with this production, someone's going to bellyache that: 1) the production's a replica of the original with no ingenuity; or 2) the production violates the spirit of the original because of a misguided concept. Hopefully, Annie, if well done (original or not) will turn out to be a fun entertainment that audiences will savor and enjoy.

"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."

If they're smart they'll snatch the War Horse slot to and give the Palace a marquee since it really hasn't ever had one.
