Annie Preview Thread

I know it doesn't start previews until two days, but who is going to be there on Wednesday? I can't wait to hear how the cast is and how David Korins's set design looks!

I'll be there on Wednesday too. I've never seen a professional production of it, and I grew up listening to the music, so I'm very excited.

Primarily to see Anthony Warlow, Lizzie?

Salene: YES. Can't wait. But I do like Annie.

Any word on rush for this? Especially with all these open seats?

I'm guessing so people can see it.

When would the right time be? That's not a snarky answer, it's just a general question. Opening a show is always hit or miss, and you just never know.

unlike GYPSY ON A HOT TIN ROOF.

ANNIE is such a popular show with the world.It's a classic on broadway and in the minds of the world. The last revival was in 1997.I think they should wait another 20 more years to revive it. In my opinion,reviving it now would almost rob the show of what it deserves. The US tour just ended 2 years ago,so i figure the american public has seen enough of ANNIE,also Matilda is coming to broadway soon so that just screams competition of the 1o year olds.
Plus there has been all this talk of an ANNIE remake film coming out next year with Willow smith.Thats WAYYYY to much ANNIE in one year.

ANNIE is an amazing feel good musical but to much exposure of it could be its downfall.Just my 2 cents.

and Matilda will get 10 tonys like its not hard to guess it will win the tony for best musical. If you do not know this you must be on another planet. The musical is so perfect its not funny.

Why is it so obvious?
