BWW INTERVIEWS: ANNIE's Madison Kerth & Lynn Andrews at The Fabulous Fox Theatre
by Joseph Harrison - December 28, 2009

Sometimes pieces of the memorable score pop up, and other times simply a smile will arise, since Annie is just one of those shows that makes you smile. I recently had the chance to relive those memories and smile again when I sat down to speak with Madison Kerth, who plays Annie in the upcoming Theater of the Stars production at the Fabulous Fox Theatre (January 13 - 17) as well as Lynn Andrews who plays the devious Miss Hannigan.
