Annie

Awesome musical. Lots of parents bring their kids. Anyway it's the 2nd show in Singapore. I found out the orphans are actually kids from Singapore. Molly is so cute. Not bad that they use local talents. But they are probably from international school. The younger ones are like Mischa's friends. Their faces and such.

Anyway, the story is about an orphan girl who tried to run away looking for her parents. She had with her a letter and a locket. One day Mr Warbucks the billionaire decided to have an orphan for 2 weeks during the Christmas holiday to stay at his house. He liked her and wanted to adopt her. But she just want her parents. So he broadcast it bout finding Annie parents and he will give $50k. Ms Hannigan, the caretaker of the orphanage has a brother, Rooster. And he and his Ms ho-tel decided to fake being Annie parents for the money. End up with the help of the president, traced the letter and found out that her real parents are dead. Bad guys got sent to jail and Annie live happily ever after.

The person playing Ms Hannigan is awesome. She has to act all desperate for a guy as she is old, above 35. And she hates being sober.

Our ticket is awesome. We got to sit in the middle pretty front. Like about 8/10 rows. So get to see the actors from the stage very clear. But the guy in front of me is so tall and he's basically blocking my view. I can't really see the left stage.
Oh well.

Even though it is implied that Annie is a kid show, don't be mistaken. There are many jokes that only adult will get. I mean kids below 10 will not understand.
Like the Rooster girlfriend name is Lily St. Regis after the hotel. And so theres the part where someone say Ms ho-tel. The ho implying a hoe as she dress like one. Well I think she was suppose to be.
They use Chinese words for applause in the end of that scene. And Ms Hannigan said yam seng before taking a swift of champagne.

So it's a great entertainment for kids and adults alike.

Plus when the dog appear, everyone goes awwww.
