Annie
Eimi's friend Harry is in the touring production of Annie, and last night we were one of the lucky few invited to their preview performance. Now, I've never seen the movie nor do I know what the story is about; there is something about little girls with permed red hair that I've never really warmed up to. Eimi's friend Jennifer and I were a little skeptical about what we were going to experience since neither of us know the story, but our jaws literally dropped as soon as the actress playing Annie opened her mouth to sing, and by the end of the musical we were sharing tissues to wipe our eyes. Man, that girl can sing! The cast was exemplary, and the set design by renowned Ming Cho Lee was breathtaking. The show-stealer was definitely Sandy the dog, however. Whenever it was onstage you can just feel the audiences' hearts melt. Man, I gotta start going out to the theatre some more!
