Want to Beat the Blues? The Musical "Annie" Is Back
by Bruce Chadwick - published 2024-01-31
Anybody in this country who does not know what life was like in orphanages, or America, in the Depression 1930s has not been to see the musical Annie. In it, writers, directors and actors show the audience the economic and social devastation in the country, The heroine of the very upbeat, poignant story is little mop-top Annie, the cute, lovable little girl with the bright, curly red hair who gets taken in by super wealthy Daddy Warbucks, whose fortune puts Donald Trump to shame, after years of living in a dreary, rodents of some kind infested orphanage, run by the equally dreary Miss Hannigan, who gives evil a bad name. The other orphans in the play where Annie lives are the co-heroines of the play.

by Jeff Parsons - published 2024-01-25
In his 1905 play Man and Superman, George Bernard Shaw famously included the line "Those who can, do; those who can't, teach."
