Well, thankfully for you then, the planned West End season of 'Annie' this Summer has been shelved. I can only think that when Charles Strouse saw the current production with Ruth Madoc a few months ago he wasn't taken by it.

They cant do another WE show with kids in every crb-ed chaperone is working in drury lane.
But for whatever reason being saved from Annie is a true blessing.

For those who have seen this new production in previews.
Does this portrait of Lionel Bart, that appears over the company during the finale, appear at every performance or was it a one off for last nights opening?

'Jodie Prenger, brings a warmth to the stage you could warm your hands by, and wrings every last ounce of emotion'.

'Mr Atkinson is not the only rocket of the night. Jodie Prenger, who won the part of the doomed, decent Nancy in a primetime BBC1 talent show, stands up to the test like a sturdy galleon. She swings her big hips and heaves her all into the role'.

'Jodie Prenger as Nancy on the strength of TV's I'd Do Anything competition. The good news is that she acquits herself extremely well'.

'And did Jodie Prenger, who won the role of Nancy in one of those deplorably sadistic television contests, justify her choice? I must admit she did. Initially she struck me as parading, posturing, performing rather than acting, but she went on to prove herself a tough, coarse, credible presence with a big, robust voice — and that’s all that is needed'.

'Perhaps no one could resist the lure of Jodie Prenger, the girl who fought it out in BBC1’s I’d Do Anything and secured the role of the put-upon Nancy. With a blasting foghorn of a voice and a physique that looked almost big and firm enough to cause Burn Gorman’s superbly ominous, thuggish threat of a Bill Sikes to think twice about violence, Prenger duly melted and belted out that anthem for masochistic, battered women everywhere As Long As He Needs Me'.

Thought this would be third time unlucky following Connie Fisher and Lee Mead, but looks like the little sparrow done well, or did she?

'The difference is crucial in exposing the shallowness of the acting, particularly in respect of I’d Do Anything winner Jodie Prenger as Nancy. She looks in good shape in her red dress and piled up hair, but her voice, while true, is simply not strong enough for the rigours of six performances a week (she has Wednesday and Thursday nights off) and her stage presence is crudely one-dimensional'.
