Watching These Little Girls Get Cast in Annie Will Make Your Week
Latest
Over the weekend, PBS aired ANNIE: It’s a Hard Knock Life, From Script to Stage, a documentary about the classic musical’s current Broadway revival. Perhaps you missed it because you (wrongly) thought you had better things to do on a Friday night than stay home and watch an Annie documentary on PBS. If that’s the case, I strongly question your life choices and direct you to PBS’ website where you can currently stream the whole thing for free.
Much of ANNIE: It’s a Hard Knock Life, From Script to Stage focuses on the challenges surrounding a production thats cast is made up mostly of children. Theater kids can be a particular nightmare (I can say that — I was one) and wrangling them is an overwhelming task. That said, there’s something especially awesome (and unsettling) about when its pulled off successfully and you can watch a group of 7-12-year-olds perform perfect choreography and harmonies.
