Annie was wonderful!
by RealtorinATL on 1/18/10Fox Theatre Atlanta - AtlantaRating: 4 out of 5This was an incredible experience. My parents took us years ago to see Annie at the Fox, when we were 6 & 8, and today we came together as a family, my parents, sister & brother-in-law, their 4 1/2yr old daughter and myself & my husband to share a perfect day and an unforgettable memory....my neices first Musical at the Fox Theatre. The actors were great - hitting each and every mark effortlessly. The singing was a perfect pleasure to experience. I'm always amazed at children who can sing and perform so well.
The one thing I missed was the moving sidewalk & background during the NYC scene that I've seen in previous versions of the play. I also thought the backgrounds in the Warbucks mansion could have been a bit brighter to give a larger contrast between the orphanage & Hooverville areas. Overall, I would definitely recommend taking your children to see this play regardless if they are young, in the teens or young adults. And if your an adult who hasn't seen the play go and enjoy. Annie has a wonderful story of being optomistic and doing the "right" thing. The only warning I would give is they do say about 6 or 7 curse words that really stand out against the wholesomeness of the play and as most bad language goes doesn't add anything extra to the scene.
