Okay. I know John Doyle didn't direct this production of ANNIE but I run across the picture and I'm like....WTF??!?! Since when did one of the orphans play a tuba??

It could take place in the prison Mrs. Hannigan is Sent to. It all happens in her mind. While the other woman behind bars take on the various Orphan roles... Send out the Press Release!!!

LOL!

I can totally see that. A cross between MAN OF LA MANCHA and the SWEENEY TODD revival.

Wasn't there a production which apparently took place in Annie's dream (at the end, she woke up in the orphanage) and the theatre got sued later on?

I could see the lights slowly rising on Hannigan in the corner of an old jail. Various prison figures emerge from all around, circling her: "Who are you?....Say Something!...What did you do to get you here?.....Did you have a trial?". One passes her off a french horn and the tale begins...

This story could unfold quite well.

Just as technical note: it's not a tuba. I think it's a fleugelhorn. A tuba's horn curves out, not up.

A fleugelhorn...

Sounds like something Rose would say.

No, a flugelhorn is like an oversized mellower sounding trumpet. The thing that Chuck Mangione used to play. That does look like a tuba in the Annie photo to me. Tubas were all the rage in all Depression era orphanages.

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