In Melbourne, we were lucky to see Annie the Musical!
For a start, the Regent Theatre, itself, was just beautiful, extremely ornate, I'm guessing art nouveau style.
I was told to not take photos inside the theatre, but I did manage to get these shots before that, hee hee!
And the show was good family fun! EVERYBODY knows the song Tomorrow, which I LOVE,
even if Annie sings it a kajillion times!
even if Annie sings it a kajillion times!
But there are some other great songs and dance routines too, especially Hard-Knock Life, by the orphans.
The cast was fantastic, especially those little girls, who are all about 10 years old, bless 'em!
Anthony Warlow, played the main role, and I was really impressed by the actor who played Grace, his secretary. I realised later, she also played Christine in Phantom of the Opera beside Anthony Warlow,
so, of course, she was brilliant.
The sets were magnificent, being mostly the interior of a millionaire's mansion in the 1930s, so that suited me right down to the ground!
I couldn't resist buying the Programme and CD on our way out.
There's nothing like bellowing along to songs from a musical when driving in the car!
I did that with the Wicked Soundtrack for about a year!
Catch Annie if you can!
