Forty-Six Years Ago, Tonight.....Who Knew????????????????????

                            Who knew, on the evening "ANNIE" opened on Broadway at the then Alvin Theatre, that it would become the season's hottest ticket, sweep the TONY Awards, and create a lifelong career for Andrea McArdle, not to mention a signature song--"Tomorrow!"

                               Dorothy Loudon defined Miss Hannigan, and when I saw the show on June 25, 1977, the orphans just walked off with the show.  I still recall who they were--

                                 Diana Barrows--Tessie                                                                                                                                       Danielle Brisebois--Molly                                                                                                                          Shelley Bruce--Kate                                                                                                                                      Robyn Finn--Pepper                                                                                                                                      Donna Graham--Duffy                                                                                                                                  Janine Ruane--July

                               I wonder where they are now.

                                It was not until I saw a spot of "ANNIE" featured on The TONY Awards that I ran into the city and purchased a ticket.

                                 

                             Here is that magical spot for all to see.  It was sheer musical theater magic.

                             Which we hardly get anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
