    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.

    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. 💖

There might be some truth in it, but I think it must be mostly a matter of perception -- because every generation has said it.

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.

    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'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. 🙏🤭🎈🎈

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @kimdelosier4666

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Yes that's true! The original Annie at the Pre-Broadway try out wasn't "tough" enough for the role, so she was then replaced by the actress playing Pepper at the time, who became the original Annie on Broadway, and is who performed at the Tony's.
