Annie (NY)

From the theater, to the singing, to the acting, to the set, it was an amazing show. I would highly recommend it. We are a family of 4 with 2 girls ages 8 and 11 and it was their favorite thing we did on our trip to NYC.

My daughter (age 6) and I enjoyed Annie the Musical. My mother purchased the DVD for her over a year ago and she's been a fan ever since. Annie is also one of my childhood favorites! My daughter sang every song and smiled the entire time (except when her loose tooth began to bother her!). We had awesome seats (rows J & K, seats 10) on the mezzanine right side, but my daughter had to lean forward on the rail during most of the performance. I offered to switch seats with her so that she could sit higher, but she didn't want to move. The only real negative is that the theater was chilly.

Such a wonderfully sweet show for all ages. This production is in its final weeks... I highly recommend attending. You won't be disappointed. Row AA in the center/front MEZZ are amazing!!!!!

Singers and dancers were terrific, as were the sets and costumes

What could be better? Can't think of a thing. Cast, sets, the music we all know. A treat for all. After you read the papers and listen to the news, go and cheer yourself up by spending a few hours of total enjoyment at "Annie."

I really enjoyed every aspect of the show. The cast was great especially the performance of Miss. Hannigan. My 5 year-old daughter attended with me & it succeeded in keeping her attention the entire time, which is very difficult to do. :)

Beautiful theatre. However our orchestra box seats were obstructed view once the 4 seats in fron of us were being used. That was very disappointing. This is a very well done performance. The children parts are done to perfection. The lead is Annie is great. If you have really young children I suggest this play gets into a lot of plot that will bore them. The child behind us 6-7 years was so disliking it she kept saying she did not like the MOVIE & wanted pop corn. The score is contagious and you can't help but sing along. Days before Christmas in NYC was a mob scene and the 7 PM show was packed. Hard to get a cab in NYC or a seat on the LIRR......

Seeing Annie at the Palace Theatre was a childhood dream come true for me. Annie was the first musical I ever saw as a little girl when it was on national tour. Seeing it all these years later was an amazing experience. My best friend is Katie Finneran and we performed Annie over and over again for the neighborhood. To see Katie take command of the Broadway stage and captivate everyone in the audience with her larger than life humor, powerful voice and natural charisma was one of the proudest moments of my life. Lila Crawford, Anthony Warlow and all the orphans were terrific. All in all, a brilliant Broadway experience not to be missed.

Great show from start to finish. Extraordinary and talented cast.

This was SUCH a nice FAMILY show.... We all enjoyed it thoroughly. I recommend it come back to Broadway; think it will be a hit again.

I took my daughter to watch Annie not expecting anything more than a children's show, but WOW! This is the cutest show I have ever seen.

7 of us came into NYC during the holidays to see Annie. My niece had requested it, and my husband was not thrilled, but the children and grandma were interested so in we went. The show was captivating! The music and songs were great! The costumes and sets were great! The humor was entertaining. The children were astonishingly wonderful! The adults were also incredible! The show was great. My 7th grade son and husband both enjoyed the play tremendously....which says a lot. We saw Spiderman the next day, and my kids liked Annie better, though they enjoyed Spiderman too! It also put us in a good Christmas mood!

I went with my husband and 10 y/o grand daughter. We all enjoyed the show.

Annie was absolutely amazing! The actors and actresses were amazing. There was no mess ups and everyone played their character so well. I would definitely go back to see the show more then once. It was something I would recommend to everyone I speak to! Great performance. Hands down!!!!!!!

Overall the show was very entertaining; the cast, especially the children, were wonderful. My only complaint is knowing the audience would consist of many young children, some of the numbers were too long.

The cast was excellent, and their voices are phenomenal. Worth seeing again. Best Christmas gift ever!

The talented kids, the singing, choreography, the upbeat story wonderful characters....what else can I say but that I loved it. Great evening at the theater. Great sets too! Almost forgot.

I enjoyed Annie very much. It was very well done. They took out and added the right amount of scenes so it was perfectly enjoyable. The music and costumes were fantastic. You can tell everyone really enjoyed; the crowd wasVERY enthusiastic.

The young performers where amazingly talented and most importantly, my daughter had a great time!

My grand kids loved it. This was their first broadway play. ( they are 6). I had seen the original and truly loved it. This production was good but not great.

Spectacular performance! The kids were amazing!! The casting of warbucks assistant was a dead ringer!

Annie was very well played. Though it left out some parts of the actual story it was portrayed very well. The little actors were amazing and see a big future for them. Definitely something to watch with the family!

A friend and I gave tickets to this show as Christmas presents to our daughters, both 9 years old. We then accompanied them for a day in NYC and had a great time. The show was tailored for appeal to little girls but these 40-something year old men enjoyed it too, especially in our daughter's company.

An enjoyable family event. Annie is wonderful for all ages.

For me, compared to original, it was okay but for our grandaughters, seeing it for the first time, it was fantastic! That is all that counts.

Took my 8 year old granddaughter. She had a great time and truly enjoyed the experience.

I have been to MANY B-way shows and this was near the top of my list! The children were so talented! The show brought me through many emotions. My husband enjoyed it thoroughly as well. Too bad it ended!!

I went with my daughter, we had an amazing time. This was my daughters first Broadway show & she enjoyed it so much. Hope it come back to Broadway again.

Lucky enough to catch a classic that I've always loved. Definitely a must should it come back to the stage in the future. The acting and singing were on par; laughter mixed with tears. Great performance by all.

Our daughter recently found out that she will play the role of Annie in her high school's spring musical. We were so excited to be able to take her to NYC for one of the final performances of "Annie". We attended the January 3rd performance and were wowed by all of the talent but especially that of the young performers. The show was amazing and the Christmas scene was absolutely beautiful!

I attended the play with my parents after buying them tickets as a Christmas present. It was a great show! All the actors children and adults did a great job! I would definitely recommend this show to anyone that asked about it.

Took my 4 1/2 yr. old gran daughter and she was just mesmerized!!! Just watching her stare at the characters and sing along was priceless.

We traveled only from Long Island, but the snow was a little scary. We didn't know if the show would be cancelled, but as they say, "the show went on". It was so well acted and the scene changes were non-stop there were no chanced to lose attention, not even the little ones. Too bad the show is ending today. I'm sure this fabulous cast will find a new home in another successful musical or play. Thanks for the memories. And one other thing, that sweet dog Sandy, brought tears to all of our eyes just watching the touching moments with Annie.

While Annie could certainly hit all the high notes, she lacked some of the acting skills necessary to really play this role. Where was all the moxie and rough edges that made the original character so memorable? This Annie is an almost irritating pollyanna rather than a real street urchin whose optimism in spite of a truly hard life wins over the likes of Oliver Warbucks and president Roosevelt. This Annie didn't seem surprised to learn that a house could have a pool INSIDE. Also there were some really bad storytelling choices -in the shanty town number they are talking about how they can't throw away the newspapers any more because they need them to keep warm and use them for blanket. Then, in the middle of the Herbert Hoover song, they magically produce a pristine poster of the guy. Where did they get it? Why haven't they burned it? In the original I seem to remember a faded poster on one of the shanty homes. This kind of incongruous staging really ungrounded the production and made it all feel like a glossed over theme-park version of what was originally an INCREDIBLE musical with some of the most memorable songs of my generation. The direction and choreography didn't tell the story. Their costumes were all clean as well. Couldn't they be treated to look old and ragged? The orphans lacked moxie as well and seemed to have been directed to 'act cute' rather than hungry, looney and sad. The choreography lacked some of the power and wild anger that the original communicated so well. Poor Faith Prince. You have one of the best Broadway stars up there acting against cardboard. Supporting roles like Grace etc. also did not have This was the first Broadway show I took my child too. She didn't know the difference, but I was really disappointed.

I took my 7 year old niece to see her first Broadway Show !! She loved the kids and the show was great. She was clapping so hard by the end and told me she loved Molly !! Personally I thought that Annie sounded very nasally when she sang. It was distracting. But overall the acting was great and it was a wonderful night out

Annie was an amazing show! The young actors who portrayed the orphans were fabulous! The entire cast was great, and totally in synch with each other. It was easy to tell that the cast enjoyed performing the show as much as the audience enjoyed viewing it.

Loved it!!! I loved the seats and I loved the singing and the people who played the parts!!

This was the first Broadway play for our children. Our son is 9 and our daughter is 12. Our son was Oliver Warbucks in his 3rd grade play. Needless to say, we really needed to see Annie on the BIG stage. The show was AMAZING!!! The scenes, the costumes and the music were just what we were expecting. Both our children were mesmerized. This positive experience was exactly what we hoped it would be.

We really enjoyed the Annie performance. The kids in the show were really, really good (especially Annie). The dog plays a much smaller role than the movie and they changed up the ending compared to the movie. However, the play was still great (even my 14 year old son enjoyed it). The Palace Theater is a great venue for the show. Definitely see it before before it shuts down on January 5th!

Amazing show for all!!!! My 2 girls loved it (10 and 7)! I would see it again and again!

I took my 6 year old daughter and her cousin for her birthday. They absolutely loved the show and sang along during the songs. The timing was perfect, it was'nt too long. It definitely held their attention.

I have seen the movie and an other play done by young adults in a middle school, but this play was over the top... From the beginning the props and scenery were spectacular and 3 dimentional.The clothesline was real and gave such a nice backdrop . The chandelier was so beautiful and looked fabulous as a Christmas tree. The cast was the best, even with 5 of the roles being replaced, the show was 5 plus stars.It made me feel like a child again with hopes and dreams fulfilled and finding it an all around feel good show. I recommend this show to people of all ages...it makes you feel young at heart.

Awesome display of talent on all levels. Annie's vocals and acting were simply amazing!

I took my 5 year old daughter to see her first Broadway musical today. After watching the Annie movie over and over, i knew she was ready to see it on the big stage! she sat on the edge of her seat the entire show, belting out the songs she knew, and dancing. Not once did she ask me when the show would be over or when could we leave. She truly enjoyed every second of it, even though she noticed scenes from the movie were not being played on stage, like the scene where they go to the movies, or where Annie is running away and being chased up the bridge. My daughter smothered me with kisses and hugs throughout the show and afterwards, thanking me for taking her to see Annie on stage! A memorable experience for the both of us!

Excellent show! The cast was amazing. My daughters loved everything about it! The staff at the theater were also wonderful. We had a wonderful day in NYC!

I took my daughter to see Annie for her birthday on Wednesday and we had a great time. The cast was spot-on, the set design very creative and the music top-notch (a real orchestra was a treat these days). A thoroughly enjoyable experience for both of us.

Went to see Annie with my 6yr old and we both loved it. This is definitely a show for all ages. A must go.

Everything about this play was amazing!! The cast the music. The set. All was the best and I would Definitely see it again!!

Annie on Broadway was brilliant. Ms. Lynch as Hannagin looked like she was having lots of fun and we had fun watching her. The child actresses were fantastic and the dogs were incredibly well trained. The adult ensemble was incredibly talented and versatile, and Annie's "Daddy" Warbucks flawlessly showed the many sides of the billionaire. All in all the cast was incredible- and the sets were to die for!

What an amazing show! It was like this role was written for Jane Lynch, she and everyone did a wonderful job. I loved it!!!

What can you say about Annie? I cannot imagine anyone not loving this show. The music, the acting, the dog. It was better today than when I saw it 28 years ago!!!! So far one if the best broadway shoes I have ever seen. Great classic and sweet show. If you are concerned about your child being scared, it is not an issue. Enjoy!

All time Annie fan! This was an amazing experience! Great cast amazing production and direction! Over all unforgettable!

I have wanted to see Annie since I was a kid. I was an orphan, but not in an orphanage, and in many ways I felt rescued by my second family (my grandmother and her kids). What makes Annie such a spectacular story is her optimism, and don't we all need optimism?! Take a break from all the tales of zombies and robots and superheros and learn about the victories of the human spirit. There were a ton of kids in the audience but oddly enough, it was the adults who were most moved by this tale (at least, when I was there)

I brought my 8 year old daughter and she loved it. She was initially reluctant to go but the show won her over. It brought back wonderful memories of when I saw the show with Andrea McCardle. This show is as good as I remembered it. The actors, singing and sets were great!!

This classic was done just right , singing was awesome !

ANNIE on Broadway was fantastic. First off the palace theatre is great, not a single bad seat in the house. Orchestra was outstanding. Cast, remarkable. The children were beyond talented! We were entertained the entire way through. Reminded me why I love broadway. Highly recommend to anyone who watched ANNIE as a child. Anyone looking for a great broadway experience, with or without children, it's a must see! Bravo! And by the way, the young lady playing ANNIE is mind blowing! Her voice and talent - timing and energy - it was amazing!

Saw the original in 1978. New is just as good, if not better.

The show was amazing! Mary Hannigan stole the show- which is a hard thing to do when being compared to an iconic Carol Burnette. Annie had an amaing voice- hard to believe she is an 11 year old girl. Ending is a wee bit different from the movie, and don't expect to see Punjab. Still, amazing and worth it!!

It's what you would expect Annie to be. Nothing stood out good or bad.

The whole show was excellent my 6 year old and I loved everything just like the movie!!!!This was our first musical and we really enjoyed it worth every penny!!

I took my 7 year old daughter to see Annie as a birthday present and I must admit the show was fantastic! This was the first Broadway show for our family and I know it won't be the last. All of the actors were so talented that I was brought to tears with the singing and my daughter, Abbie, stayed very attentive. I understand the girl who played Annie was the understudy, but can I just say WOW! I am positive we will be seeing a lot more of her as she grows up. The play stayed true to the movie which was great and the scenery changes on stage were great. The Palace was stunning and we simply had a marvelous time. Abbie did get Sandy afterwards as a remembrance of the show. I am so delighted that Annie was brought back to the theatre as this is a true classic.

Great play for the family, well done. Warming, funny and all around good story. Makes you want to just make things right for all those kids. We ahd a group of 10 and they are still thanking me for making it happen.

Annie on Broadway was excellent!! The 2:00 show was perfect for our 7 and 10 year olds who remained glued to the play the entire time. The mezzanine seats were perfect for viewing the intimate set.

My 8-year daughter got straight As on her report card so her reward was a trip to NYC. She couldn't wait see the show. She was totally impressed by how talented all of the actors were and inspired to one day be on Broadway herself! What a fabulous show and we have great memories that we will cherish a lifetime! The sun will indeed come out tomorrow! Thank you!

Although I had seen Annie with Andrea Mcardle many moons ago, my 22 year old daughter was anxious to see it, so we made a mother daughter theater night to fulfil her wishes. We both adored the show. The cast was amazing. Loved the music, the kids, Daddy Warbucks........I highly recommend this show to young and old alike!!!

We suprised our girls (ages 5 and*) with a trip to NYC, and although we had a great time, and visited some of the best tourist-recommended spots, Annie was all they could talk AND sing about! What a great family memory it has made! The songs and dancing were able to keep both my girls and my husband (who is not a musical-fan) completely engaged and delightfully entertained!

Enjoyed with our group of 14 ranging from a 5 year old to an 84 year old! We all loved it!

Took my 11-year-old daughter and her friend to see Annie! It was awesome. I have loved Annie since I was little and they loved it just as much. The little girl who plays Annie and the rest of the cast were amazing!!! Sad to see it closing already but definitely glad I got to see!

An absolutely enchanting cast. The set and the props were absolutely outstanding.

I took my 10-year old twin granddaughters to see Annie as a "double digit" birthday present. Their great grandmother had taken their mother and her sister to see the play at about the same milestone. We all loved everything about the production. My criticism is not of the play or production but of audience behavior, some members who had no qualms about getting up and down during the performance to tend to their needs, to talk out loud or to feed their children snacks. Many children were far too young to be in a theatre seat. It was more like being at a hockey game than a Broadway show. A suggestion might be that when tickets are purchased, to include with the confirmation a blurb about theatre etiquette, which could also be printed in a prominent location in Playbill.

We took our children to see Annie. My daughter had been begging us for a month when see seen that the final day was in January. We made it a holiday surprise. Nothing could compare to the delight on her face when we arrived at the theatre. (it wa a surprise) We all enjoyed the show. Even my 11 year old son, who was jaded about going to see a 'girls show'. He enjoyed it and sang along. ( I guess he knew the words after hearing it on the television several times in the last few weeks) It truly was a family treat and enjoyable for every age. So sorry that it is closing. It is a delight for families!

This was a great musical, kept us engaged and it was on cue the entire time. My family enjoyed it!

With loving annie since i was a kid and knowing the movie inside and out it was fabulous, the singing was mind blowing !!!!!! i am do happy i went for the wonferful experience

Very good choreography, music, costume, lighting and scenery. Performance was great too. Loved it.

Took my 6 and 9 year old kids to see this show. They absolutely loved it! I saw it as a child. It was my first Broadway show. Both of my kids were mesmerized. After the show the young lady who plays Annie was nice enough to sign an autograph for my daughter and pose for a photo with her as well!

We've seen this play as a family six times and this was certainly the greatest production. Loved EVERY part of it and would go again in a second.

I took my daughter to see "Annie" on Christmas week. What a festive, fun thing to do! The show was wonderful. The singing and the acting were superb. It was a memorable show-perfect for my 12 year old daughter and I.

Annie was a great play to see. We all enjoyed it and can't wait to see it again.

I took my daughter to Annie and we BOTH absolutely loved it. It was the perfect show to see especially at Christmas. I'm so happy we got a chance to see this before the show closes on January 5th. Highly recommended!!!!

My 7 yr old and I attended as an early Christmas gift...she absolutly loved the show...what a great evening!

Great show! I took my 5 year old to see it. It was his first show. We both loved it!

I loved this Musical!!! Very cute and inspirational.

We had back row seats, but the performance was still captivating and the actors/actresses were amazing. I never saw Annie before, and I'm very happy to have this performance as my first experience. Definitely would recommend this to everyone! The star of the show, albeit very young, was captivating and breathtaking!

Great play for kids and adults! My daughter loved this play.

THE KIDS LOVED IT AND I LOVED IT. YOURE NOT TOO OLD FOR ANNIE. HURRY AND GET YOUR TICKETS BEFORE ITS OFF BROADWAY.

I took my mom and my son to see the show and It was fabulous. I cannot belive the show is closing in a couple of weeks. I feel bab for the folks that won't get the apportunity to see. The cast put on an incredible performance.

We loved this show!! My husband and I took our 2 kids (13 and 9) to see it. They all sang beautifully. The girls were amazing and Mrs. Hannigan was funny. Daddy Warbuck's performance was great as well as the rest of the cast. My daughter who is an animal lover was very happy to see Sandy. It had a few minor differences from the movie towards the end, but I actually liked this show more than the movie. I'm so glad we got to see Annie before it's final performance in January.

I saw this show in London about 30 years ago and have seen various productions since. This production has everything and should not be missed.

Absolutely brilliant! Best musical seen for a while and I have seen a few. The cast of young girls as the orphans led by Taylor Richardson as Annie, were amazing. Very talented young ladies. Also the lead for Mr Warbucks & Ms Farrell were good too and the performance of Miss Hannigan was outstanding. An absolute must see when on Broadway. Not to forget to mention Sunny playing the dog Sandy - adorable!

I brought my grandchildren to see this show and they have not stopped talking about it

The play was great and really entertaining! The actors and actresses did an amazing job! More importantly, my 7 yr old daughter loved it!

I've seen Annie before and this show did not disappoint. The set was visually stunning. The kids were great dancers and singers, in though the show we saw, Annie seemed a little off. Maybe she was having a bad night. THe main thing to consider is the theatre. If you have young children, you'll really want to be in the front mezzanine or the first 10 rows of the orchestra to really see the actor's faces. The theatre is beautiful but rather small. If your child knows nothing of the story, I'd give her the background first and familiarize her with the characters and setting.

Annie was great!! My daughter completely loved it!! Would highly recommended. The cast was magnificent!

My granddaughter loved the dance numbers with the girls with Annie and also seeing the dog on Stage

I went with my grandaughter and it was a great choice. The set up and actors are great. I recommend it!!!!

We loved the show, very entertaining. The children in the show were fantastic. My two girls aged 6 and 8 were not disappointed. They have watched the movie countless times, and listened to the soundtrack repeatedly before the show! My only disappointment was not seeing Anthony Warlow as Daddy Warbucks. We are Australian and have seen him on home soil and always enjoy his performances.

The show was AMAZING!!! We sat in center orchestra, row L, seats 111,113, and 115 and the seats were perfect! I am so glad I got to enjoy the show before it ended!

The play was really fabulous. What a wonderful movie to begin with! The play had the depth and breadth of the film with an original touch. The actors and children were excellent. I would definitely recommend this play.

Great show. I got the tickets for my girlfriendbfor Christmas and she loved it. Best Christmas gift ever

Since Annie is played all over the country in professional and amateur productions, it is seemingly every where. That's why to stand out the production must have an edge -- and this one did. Faith Prince was her usually incredible self, and the entire cast, down to the maids were so polished and full of life. However, in the middle of the biggest song in the show: Tomorrow, the usher allowed four people to come down the aisle and block our view. Then there was disagreement of who was in the right seat!!!! My grandchildren were very upset, as was I. There MUST be a rule that once the musical/play starts that LATECOMERS WILL NOT BE SEATED!!!! The opera doesn't allow it, why does Nederlander???????
