I first saw Annie at the Alvin in 1978. I fell in love. I was sorely disappointed by the John Huston film, it deviated to much from the characters in Annie. Of course, the 2014 version betrayed the source by changing the songs to fit the updated setting. This one, while not perfect, got it the best yet. I'm anticipating the Annie: Live coming up in 2021 to be good, we'll see if it measures up to this.
