If I were a professional theatre critic I would detach myself from what was going on around me and just write about what I saw onstage. But I'm Ms. average theatre fan and for me, the experience really suffered because of the audience.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-84389149148207486182009-05-07T13:40:00.000-04:002009-05-07T13:40:00.000-04:00Looks like a non-equity tour?

Too bad they didn't cajole Arlene Robertson to play Hannigan - the best I've ever seen. She's fantastic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-56620409839078958982009-05-07T04:30:00.000-04:002009-05-07T04:30:00.000-04:00Oh my gosh, CP, great essay.

That's uncanny! <br /><br />(Except I didn't memorize the cast recording while recuperating from a sprained ankle. But I can see how you could. Those songs are so catchy!)<br /><br />I should have mentioned that this was my first time seeing Annie on stage although I have seen the movie. I dragged my roommate to it the day after we graduated from college. She wanted to see another movie opening that weekend, E.T., but I wanted to see Annie - and I won!Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-22863843111075394122009-05-07T01:45:00.000-04:002009-05-07T01:45:00.000-04:00Ha!
