    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Kristin Chenoweth auditioned for the title role in the original film version of "Annie". She got to the final stages of the audition process, but was turned down because her Southern accent was too thick.
    • Goofs
      The location of McGillicutty's Tavern moves. As the truck drives away with Annie in the laundry, it shows the tavern as being down the road to the right of the orphanage, whereas at the end of "Easy Street" when Rooster, Miss Hannigan, and Lily dance down the road and into the tavern, it is to the left of the orphanage.
    • Quotes

      Lily: Oliver Warbucks... the millionaire?

      Miss Hannigan: No, the billionaire, you dumb hotel.

    • Crazy credits
      While Ernie Sabella and Vic Polizos are both in the opening titles of the film, they are NOT in the end credits.

    superb - wish it had been longer!
    This adaption of "Annie" is an excellent piece of film making. The casting,

    direction, writing, choreography all come together in perfect balance to entertain people of all ages.

    My only wish is that budget and time constraints would have allowed for the

    entire original story and score to remain in tact. The Hooverville / "We'd Like to Thank You Mr. Hoover" sequence in the original stage musical was perfect in

    showing the effects of the depression, as well as giving us the introduction to Sandy. I only hope that future TV musicals allow the time for the full production, much like the 1993 version of "Gypsy" starring Bette Midler.

    I've noticed that some people have commented about the multi-racial casting

    and how secretary Grace would never have been a black woman. Historically,

    this is most likely correct, but again let's keep in mind that this is musical theatre and for people to just start singing with invisible musicians isn't very realistic either. I'm glad to see that Audra MacDonald was cast because she has the

    perfect acting skills, personality and voice to play Grace. Even though many of these stories are traditionally "white", the ability to cast multi-ethnic roles only enriches the piece and is completely appropriate in our modern society.
