"It seems to me from reading reviews and looking at clips and blah blah "

You take up so much space adding so little.

I think it just appeared kind of bland and dated next to the likes of Matlida.

Sucking all the humor out of it and focusing too hard on the Depression side of it didn't help matters much. Annie is a feel-good fable. "The sun'll come out tomorrow," for Christ's sake. Do we need it to look and feel like a Thirties newsreel?

1. Your first post to this thread called out THE ENTIRE BOARD. So how did I 'attack' you first? (BTW, define "attack").

2. I called you out for your hypocritical remarks.

3. When you haven't seen a show, you cannot have an opinion on it. Regurgitating others opinions is NOT the same as having an opinion. Like most of your posts, its simply verbal vomit.

Note: since I haven't seen this show, I haven't uttered a single comment about it. And it was pretty easy to not make disparaging comments about a production about which I have no first hand knowledge.

Enough with the blank posts, Sue

Except that B'way guys comments kind of deserve it. (although not to the same extent that sue's did.)

Wynbish was talking to broadway guy when she posted that, dramamama. Because broadway baby is suddenly resorting to immature sock puppet methods.

See, broadway baby thinks the blank posts are some kind of joke or cute little tactic when, in reality, it's simply my very matter of fact way of pushing his moronic trolling comments away from the REAL and THOUGHTFUL conversations taking place in these threads so that the troll can't ruin them all.

Ok i don't really pay any attention to Broadway Guy, i come on here to talk theatre, not bitch, but to be fair to him, people cant keep saying he ruins threads when you all keep responding to him in turn the thread does become about him.

Pay no attention, dont post blank posts, dont call him out, just ignore him and let the thread be about what it is if he bothers you that much.

Couple weeks before Jane Lynch came in. I was in the city attending to the final details for a reading of a new piece in July, and I'm a sucker for childhood favorites. This one I kind of wished I'd missed. I do want to go back now that Lynch is in it, because from what I hear it has a whole different energy, but that will depend on how much money I have next time I'm in town.

Sounds to me like that know one can get passed the original Andrea McArdle, Annie musical and refuses to except the show any other way. Timeless classic or not, I think the nuances give it a fresh new approach , to an old musical who's revivals are ready getting tire some.

I saw the revival back in August and I absolutely loved it. I felt like it was a solid production, and it had one of the best orchestras I have heard in a while.

I think even people who have criticized this production have all agreed that the orchestra was really wonderful.
