I wish someone would 'find' a 'lost' recording of this entire show....in high definition. That's my dream right there. Best cast - ever. Hands down. Love them all. I still have my original LP - scratched and warbly....it's going to be with me forever.....
You know that part on "Shrek" when Donkey stares at the welcome to Duloc machine just before he says, "Let's do that again!" That's exactly how I feel after watching this.
Back in 1977, I was lucky enough to see the original cast in this production on its opening week - the day after President Carter had been in the audience! One of my fondest Broadway memories! :)
I love how in "Easy Street" each character made the choreography their own and you can really tell what type of person each character was just by simple ways such as their jazz hands. AMAZING! PERFECTION
All the performers are ON POINT. But I also wanna give it up for the audience who, by the sound of the clapping, is being super energetic and encouraging and alive, which is how theatre should be 👏🏽
I was having dinner in the break room one evening and a woman in there with me started a conversation and happened to mention that her daughter was starring as Annie in New York. It was Andrea's mother. She wasn't bragging or anything but she should have, her daughter had a great talent.
Plus, they're not lip-synching to a pre-recorded vocal track (as is done in film musicals) --- their singing is being performed LIVE as they dance!! Very impressive.
Saw it on Broadway when it was still in previews. Cried like a baby when the doggy came out of the box at the end! Gee I LOVE NEW YORK still at 75 years old!NOV.2020
Andrea's voice is so outstanding that it literally makes me cry. Her voice goes right into your heart. Amazing that she was so great even as a child. Simply the best!
I still remember watching this Tony Awards broadcast and hearing this. I was blown away at McCardle's rendition of this song, still am. I can see why this show has had such a long run, but McCardle is still the touchstone by which other Annie portrayers are judged.
So interesting that the Tomorrow song is usually associated with this bright, sunny optimistic little girl whose cheery to the point of annoyance, when in reality the song as Andrea sings it is supposed to be quite somber in mood; sung with full awareness of how much worse things can - and probably will - get during the height of the Depression when it wasn't even a certainty if you were going to eat that day. No one has ever bettered her version, as good as they may be.
Andrea is the best Tomorrow is her song and the original 1977 is the musicals best version too bad the musical couldn't be filmed in its entirety this is all we have I always wondered what Dorothy's version of little girls would look like on stage
@@mathewkromeo2934 yes, she was the original BROADWAY Annie. There was actual a girl named Kristin ( can't remember her last name) who was Annie before Andrea, but got fired before Broadway. So, technical if you take Kristen into perspective, Andrea was the second Annie. Also, many people like her cause of her voice, not that she was the first Broadway Annie.
I've been a huge fan of McArdle's since I saw this as a young kid. Her voice touched me deeply then, and still does, to a degree no other performer in the role ever has.
I saw this cast performance of "Annie" in 1977 or 78 and it was my first trip to New York. Also saw the World Trade Center. It was a magical experience for a 12 year old and this brings back tears because I got the album for a gift and played it over and over again.
I saw Andrea Mcardle perform last year and to this day she still has an unrivaled stage presence. Even if she played a minor character, she'd absolutely steal the show. What a talent. She definitely belongs on stage.
We just finish watching the 82's film version with my daughter and wife, and find this because my little one wanted to hear "tomorrow" on more time. Something about this version: I ABSOLUTELY love that the girls here look like REAL girls. Nowadays we have amazing child actors around, but these seem so close to what a normal child is in every sense of the word.
Saw this when I was a kid. It was so amazing. I sang Maybe and Tomorrow so much I drove my brothers crazy. Lola thanks for sharing this great memories!!!
Loved this!!!! Had the cast album when I was a kid. Maybe 1978? Loved it. Sang along with Andrea McArdle. Saw her years later, and she was still singing and performing. The best! *****
A really good documentary for ANNIE fans is LIFE AFTER TOMORROW, which came out in 2006. It's an interview with the now grown up women who played the Orphans on Broadway.
Most of today's "singers" would benefit from taking a page out of Andrea McArdle's playbook. Hear that? Oh wait, no autotune! Her voice is actually in tune, strong, incredible, has unbelievable depth, complex, haunting, and 100% natural. This is how a true performer needs to be unlike 99.9% of all the crap that is out there today.
I Still have my LP too. I saw the show in Boston with Alison as Annie but I still love ANDREA as I first fell in love with Annie just from the record. I also have the record from the movie with Carol Burnett and love that film version and no other. This is where my love of theater and singing come from. Such memories...
volz519 if you watch to the end of the video you'll see that she has the curly red hair at the end. She gets it when she goes to Warbucks' house and they clean her up and give her new things, like clothes and a hairdo.
Broadway performers don't perform like this anymore. It was so genuine and authentic back then. You believed the characters. Noe everyone just wants to be pretty
+Justicecouture I haven't been to a Broadway musical since 1996, but you are aware, aren't you, that *every* generation has said the exact same thing you just did? It's a phenomenon in all of the arts -- everything seemed more authentic, etc. "back then." There might be some truth in it, but I think it must be mostly a matter of perception -- because every generation has said it. I guarantee you that when ANNIE opened, some people were saying that the cast of 1959's THE SOUND OF MUSIC was "more authentic."
Maybe he used the wrong word. Maybe instead of 'authentic' he meant 'raw'. Everything seems more polished these days because it is. The standards are different, not to mention that theatre is a living art and like any art, it evolves.
@@DrifterGaming You're right. Polished is the right word. Singers and dancers are incredible now, but they are all super polished to the point where I think they're interchangeable. Nobody really has super "star" quality. Great technical performers though.
@@SDoesNotKnow Agree. But being technically proficient doesn't give you soul. We are so "trained" now that the soulful people never make it to the stage because everyone is wowed in the audition room by the technical proficient. So a higher kick gets the gig but the dancer whose kick isn't as high (or whatever) but whose soul would have grabbed you, never gets on stage anymore. It's pretty sad, actually. We have turned art into the Olympics.
I saw this original cast on Broadway back in '77. I had a love for the theater. My father had a lovely tenor voice and was always up for a dance with anyone who would dance with him. My aunts & uncles were huge Broadway musical junkies; so when 1 of them ran a bus to go see this, I was totally on board. I fell in love with live theater seeing Shenandoah with John Cullum, but Annie blew me away. Probably because I'm about the same age as McArdle. Dorothy Loudon's Miss Hannigan was every bit as good as the preview you see here. I didn't fully appreciate her performance at the time, not understanding the nuances of her part. Only years later did I GET how great a Broadway actress she truly was. The original cast versions of Broadway theater are truly the best. I'm ecstatic to come across this clip as it has brought back so many happy memories for me. Thank you for posting it. 💖
Rooster and Lily have to enter after"Fully dressed" in the show. It was fun to watch from the wings, but intimidating to know we had to follow that showstopping number.
As stated above, these performances were featured on the Tony Awards Show. For a while, actual video excerpts of the original Annie cast performing live on the Broadway stage were available on UA-cam. For some reason, those excerpts have disappeared. Not sure why.
Danielle was in it very briefly, and said that her getting into showbiz was (quote) "A great way to get a girl out of Brooklyn." Then she talked about the time Henry Winkler came to see the show. During "Hard Knock Life" she and the other kids did an imitation of Fonzie's signature "Ayyyyyy!" thumbs out. Then she spoke of what she was currently doing. I don't remember it clearly, but I THINK she said that she produces records for other artists. She looks great and was very nice.
I'm in this, I can't believe how many people have this. I can't wait to get back to work. This was my first play and I happened to have the most amazing late Agent and I happened to relate to the play very well. I was adopted as a child. One thing I was forbidden to do? My mom never allowed me to use my real name. Her daughter was going to have normalcy in her life. I was so upset, but I'm so greatful and I never stopped changing my name. Thank you so very much for this gift. I'm very happy you all loved this play. Also? In my eyes? There was only one Annie I agree with all of you. She was amazing, but in this industry? People should only know the truth. Thank you dearly for this. You have this girl crying. 🙏🤭🎈🎈
Yeah I heard she was supposed to play Pepper because the original Annie got sick. I always thought she would have made a better Pepper because of her raspy voice. She just sounds like a Pepper.
I saw this original production on Broadway a week after Dorothy Louden won her Tony for her amazing performance of Miss Hannigan. When she first appeared on stage, I and the entire audience rose to our feet and gave her a five minute standing ovation. The “Easy Street” number stopped the show. One of the most memorable Broadway musicales I’ve ever seen.
Bill berloni was a very young stage hand at the Goodspeed opera house in 1976 where Annie started out. I want to say hes about 19. He was sent to local pounds to find a dog to play Sandy. He found one that was about to be put down but didn't have the cash. He had to be there first thing in the morning when it opened to get the dog. He became Sandy's trainer. It led to a lifelong career of training animals on Broadway.
At the 1:21 mark, Andrea McArdle looks like she and Peter Billingsley (A Christmas Story) could be siblings. Maybe Ralphie had a long unknown/unmentioned older sister in the story.
this play really has a great update history all 3 movies have a different charm both main plays era are awesome i wonder what the next Annie movie or play will be like
![Lp. Последняя Реальность #107 РОДНОЙ ДОМ [Финал] • Майнкрафт](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/IK3QKzKUlHM/mqdefault.jpg)
Andrea McArdle is just WOW! Sensational. And little Danielle Brisebois as Molly was adorable and amazing!
Andrea's voice in incredible for such a young age!
Easy Street...perfection. Such a pleasure to watch.
This is is one of the best tony performances of all time
The best is still Dreamgirls’ Tony performance.
I wish someone would 'find' a 'lost' recording of this entire show....in high definition. That's my dream right there. Best cast - ever. Hands down. Love them all. I still have my original LP - scratched and warbly....it's going to be with me forever.....
There’s a recording from 1980 with Alison I forget her last name as Annie on UA-cam in pretty good quality.
I have mine too. Best cast.
Same
Lost? I have the original broadway cast album. of course I bought it in 1977 and saw it in person in 1979. :-)
@@GoddessNeith I think she meant a long-lost film recording of the entire play from beginning to end
The girl playing tessie who has the braids and bangs is my aunt diane barrows!
Wow I was immediately impressed by her tbh
Seriously!? Wow, that's amazing. Does she tell you any interesting stories of those days?
You know that part on "Shrek" when Donkey stares at the welcome to Duloc machine just before he says, "Let's do that again!" That's exactly how I feel after watching this.
And nobody is Shrek.
Back in 1977, I was lucky enough to see the original cast in this production on its opening week - the day after President Carter had been in the audience! One of my fondest Broadway memories! :)
How much was a ticket back then?
You must be wealthy?
I was lucky enough to see the original cast of “Annie” in previews. Walked out of the theater knowing I just saw a hit.
I have never seen anyone do as much with a tiny orphan role as the 1977 kid with the braids. So talented.
That's Diana Barrows, the original Tessie. She didn't lack personality. She was a pro.
She is adorable
I’ve always been impressed with her performance in this clip. She actually seems like some vaudevillian from the 30s!
Shes my aunt!
Oh my goodness!
10 minutes for a single musical? those were the days.
Oh, I know that, but the fact one show had a full 10 minutes is a lot more than shows get today.
I had the same thought. For a single musical to be able to perform an entire 10-minute medley??? Those were indeed the days.
Yea, now they just have crappy 3-4 minute medleys. Also, they replaced the Tony's this year with a grease sing along 🙄
@@ttryon_65478 grease sing along! How was it?
@@wntrwondr1274 stupid. just stupid.
Amazing cast... especially the guy who played Rooster... and Dorothy Loudon... and Andrea McArdle... wow!
What a voice...she set the bar so high that no one else has ever come close. I love her iconic tilted head when she sings :)
I love how in "Easy Street" each character made the choreography their own and you can really tell what type of person each character was just by simple ways such as their jazz hands. AMAZING! PERFECTION
I agree with you, Erika!!! They each were fantastic.
So true! There's like no individuality in choreography on Broadway these days. Here, this is choreography as storytelling.
I love for Dorothy Loudon’s performance.
They are completely living in their performances. The entire styling of the singing and dancing is incredible.
This is the best Rooster of all the ones I've seen. He really looks like a hard case. Good dancer, too.
Totally agree. Same can be said for miss hannigan... much harder than in the movie version
Bob Fitch.
I like the makeup job on Lily, too. She looks like she might almost have an IQ.
Dorothy Louden...holy crap...incredible!
All the performers are ON POINT. But I also wanna give it up for the audience who, by the sound of the clapping, is being super energetic and encouraging and alive, which is how theatre should be 👏🏽

That performance of "Easy Street" is one of the best performances of the song I've ever seen.
it is because it is the original cast- they invented the roles
shaqman145 yesss! they're totally feeling it
hands down!!
Plus, they're not lip-synching to a pre-recorded vocal track (as is done in film musicals) --- their singing is being performed LIVE as they dance!! Very impressive.

Tomorrow never comes, it's never an optimistic song.

I just got home from my final school performance of Annie. I played Warbucks so this makes me smile.
R.I.P. Reid Shelton the Original Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks.

Saw this when I was a kid. It was so amazing. I sang Maybe and Tomorrow so much I drove my brothers crazy. Lola thanks for sharing this great memories!!!

I've never seen Easy Street done to this caliber. Gold standard.
Andrea McArdle and Eileen Quinn are my two FAVORITE Annie’s. I saw McArdle on Broadway when I was a kid, and then Eileen Quinn in the movie-musical.
Quinn had a sweeter, softer voice... but in the movie she wasn't expected to quilt a 1500 seat theater for 6 shows a week like McArdle was.
I agree but thro up Alisha Morton too
Aileen Quinn.
Lilla Crawford is outstanding as Annie too!
Holy crap! That’s note at 9:28! Incredible.
Andrea McArdle was the BEST Annie.
She was the original.
Mathew Kromeo she actually wasn’t, she was supposed to play Pepper

this play really has a great update history all 3 movies have a different charm both main plays era are awesome i wonder what the next Annie movie or play will be like
The next one will be a live production on NBC. It will be the fourth one they have done.
LMAO.
This comment cut straight to the point, and made me chuckle out loud. Thanks, lol.
