    Flawed, but enjoyable

    Ms. Hannigan severely over acted, and unless my ears deceived me, farted as she sat on the couch (I rewound that 5 times to confirm). I've always been a Harry Connick, Jr. Fan, but his acting left a lot to be desired. Annie herself was super cute, but I'm not a fan of scream singing. None of the actors had chemistry. Regardless, a fun watch, and kudos to the ensemble for the live performance!

    Dance 10, Looks 3

    Aside from some excellent dancers, especially those young girls doing leaps and walk-overs, I didn't think much of this. It felt like a high school production. Did we really need 4 productions of Annie. I'd love for them to do Mame with Cher. Now that would be something to see.

    Bearded Guy

    I highly enjoyed watching the bearded guy show up in almost every scene in a different role. Also this was one of the best live productions that NBC has done.

    Great Live Performance

    Live productions are hard. The imperfections are what make Live theater exciting. When scenes are performed to perfection Live theater sings.

    Some reviewers (marci) simply don't understand theater.

    A live performance of Annie is always welcome!

    This is a continuation of a tradition. Annie is a time-tested story and knows no skin color. It is at its core surviving and making something of a non ideal situation. Little Orphan Annie, a real American success story.

    My wife and I really enjoyed it. The production numbers were good, all the singing was passable, some excellent. They seemed to feature Daddy Warbucks a bit more, no doubt because of who was in the role. The young actress that played Annie was a good choice. The other kids, dancers and acrobats, were all excellent.

    Live on NBC. Good production!

    • Trivia
      Alan Toy (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) is the first actor ever cast as Roosevelt in any professional production or filming of this musical to actually be a survivor of polio, which FDR also had. In a statement, Toy said, "It is a huge honor to join such a talented ensemble. FDR has always been a role model of accomplishment for me, and I'm thrilled to be able to play him. I tip my hat to NBC and the producers of 'Annie Live!' for authentically casting a person with a Disability for this role. I'm proud to represent the community and hope that we will continue to see more of the Disability Community in roles across entertainment media."
