I've been a fan of Annie since the show first hit the stage in the 70's with Andrea McArdle in the lead role. I've seen it live, the movie. And many other interpretations. This is by far THE WORST! I don't even know where to start...the over the top over the top interruption of Ms. Hannigan, the bad acting of Annie (although she has a good voice) - the spunky, independent nature of the character is completely lost, The flatness of Grace and ridiculous interpretation of Daddy Warbucks by HCJ. His character is supposed to be a hard edges uncaring business man who's heart is eventually warmed by the spunky little girl...didn't happen AT ALL! It was choppy and with out any cohesive rhythm . Wow- how can you take a beloved musical and butcher it like NBC has done. Shameful.
