So, to my understanding this is an Equity version of a previously Non-Eq tour. How does that work? Did the cast all join Equity? Is Whoopi in on a Production waiver? What's the deal with the union status of this show?

Does Whoopi do all performances each week?

FYI - I just received my TDF tickets for Monday night and they are rather poor given the discounts floating around. Section 202 row V. Normally I always look forward to the TDF tickets but the promoters / box office could have done better here in my view. So I recommend buying your own seats on a comparable discount. Happy holidays nevertheless!

This is cute holiday fun. Nothing more, nothing less. It's a very traditional production of Annie in every way. Whoopi is fun, but it just seemed like she was going through the motions a bit. I liked the set design - it's always nice to see a solid physical set instead of a giant projection screen at the back of the stage.

A good way to spend a few hours and get some holiday cheer!

They charge fees at the box office now? I bought a ticket at the box office using code 50SMILE that the site said was $39 before fees and $52.50 after fees. I went to the box office and they still charged me $50.25 for it. And they sent the ticket via text and its on ticketmaster so I guess the box office uses ticketmaster now.

The MSG box office is Ticketmaster and it is a nightmare. I couldn't even leave a ticket for someone at will call when they were running late, after Ticketmaster wouldn't let me send the ticket online. God, I hate Ticketmaster.

Interesting. Last time I bought Rangers tickets at the Garden, I was able to use the TM app to find the seats I wanted and the box office was TM, but no fees.

I don't know how it is when you buy online through Ticketmaster since I was able to look at seat availability through the map but when my TDF tickets got sent to me they came through am.ticketmaster.com which seems like it's a management system that MSG uses, and it was confusing because although I logged in with my regular Ticketmaster account I couldn't see the tickets in my Ticketmaster app and had to go to that specific website. Not sure if the theater is a different system than the arena too

Getting into this show was worse than going through airport security. A third of the audience wasn’t even in their seats when the show began. The theatre itself is a dump. The audience behaved like animals. Whoopi was humiliatingly bad. Glad I went!

I'd be thrilled if they went through with that proposal to gut the theatre and turn it into more Penn Station space. It's a labyrinth to get in and out, it's not really appropriate for live theatre productions, the ceiling seems jarringly low, and more often than not it sits empty. (It didn't feel like a dump to me - if anything, it seemed overly sterile and characterless.) 

This production of ANNIE is solid. It's an underrated score, played and performed well, the staging and design all work, but the book has so many damn hokey moments that I wish could be toned down, from FDR to some of the period-specific references.
