The Iconic 'It's the Hard-Knock Life' | Annie Live!

[@antm64]

I so love seeing mops and buckets included as props in the choreography!! I'm remembering when a Broadway revival left out the buckets...kids were great, but those buckets just had to be there!! Well done!

I’ve worked with Annie in her previous hows and she’s such a sweet soul! And an amazing actor!

[@megancastleauthor]

Growing up in the 70's and 80's, Annie and Grease were my go-to musicals. I love to see the way Annie has evolved. The talent in this production is mind-blowing, from the choreography to the singers. It brings awe-inspired tears to my eyes to see this beloved part of my childhood reach new heights!

[@whitleypedia]

It's crazy how popular it still is given that it's set in the earl 30s.

These ladies look a smidge older than the characters they are playing - pre-teen at the very youngest, and likely some short, very young adults in there - and I've seen some fantastic dancing done by that age group.

[@mibukdesjarlais534]

@@DBR00 Most likely tucked away in their costumes. Some of them were probably miked from behind and it's all hidden in their outfits. And I think some actors also had hidden mics on their chests as well. In addition to other hidden mics that surrounded the stage itself for additional support. There's quite a lot of musicals/stage plays that do this you know. 🎤☺️

[@subbydwg]

Hmm why is the title "it's the hard knock life" but they are singing "it's A hard knock life"??

[@findekind94]

While these girls are all fantastic dancers, this production also shows that they put too much focus on that part, making the acting and singing weaker parts. It's incredibly hard to find children who are great at acting, dancing and singing solo. The dancing is great, but the acting performances make the emotional storytelling weak and that's a bummer

[@ajumacrockett]

While this is a deep song, it has a very upbeat tone, so they’re just emulating that. They are amazing singers though especially if you look at the other songs in the musical

@@TamESQ Okay

[@Valkonnen]

@@TamESQ It's an honest question and one that I had when I saw this.. They intentionally tearing down one group to attempt to bring up another, knowing that it will cause animosity and they literally don't care. Why are they intentionally destorying everything that happens to have a white main character? Even Historical Figures like Cleopatra who was a Greek Caucasian woman who actually lived is being portrayed as Black. This is not the proper way to go about this.

[@ajumacrockett]

@@Valkonnenomg. 1, it’s hard to find a redhead kid that’s basically good at everything for a MUSICAL of all things. 2, some kids are just better than others and that’s okay.

[@RC681102]

Imagine how I would feel if I saw Martin Luther King being portrayed by a white actor. When Annie, who is supposed to have red hair, no longer does, how is that different from white actors using blackface to portray a black band?”

[@枒]

Martin Luther king was a real guy. Annie is a character from a comic strip. Get over it. I’m sure you wouldn’t have the same criticism if the little girl was blonde haired and blue eyed.

[@orion8835]

Yeah this was a mess. Too angry. Bizarre orchestrations and the dance moves were way too hootchie momma/ club night/acrobatic circus to be the musical "Annie" It is well understood that "Annie" is a strict stereotype casting and when that is altered it just falls out if bed. No matter how good anyone is in the role. It is based on a comic strip that has its own post Hoover/ stock market crash damaged USA message. Its also a period old world Pre-war setting so it is a rather difficult show to play around with.The same with Oliver. The musical spirit however transcends in set numbers...but the entire dramatic effect of the show is a minefield to reimagine.
