Posted: 6/25/14 at 3:37pmLOL - that's probably just a typo on my part gents. But Martin DOES have very nice printing! For 10 points, someone please spell (without looking ) the name of the director of GGLAM!

Posted: 6/25/14 at 4:04pmI think it is time that they bring Annie Warbucks to the great white way.

Posted: 6/25/14 at 4:06pmI think if the show were truly good enough to make a profit on Broadway, the original production would have moved uptown, instead of closing downtown after 200 performances.

Posted: 6/25/14 at 4:26pmI dusted off my Annie Warbucks CD this week and I have to admit I like a lot of the score.

newintown, as you know, there are many reasons a show might decide to transfer, or not, that having nothing to do with its financial success (good or bad). Sometimes timing in the season, awards qualification, or theatre availability are the deciding factor.
Personally, I LOVE the score to Annie Warbucks and, as with Annie, those songs stick in your head for DAYS.

True, the score has some good songs; I find the book less than irresistible.
And though there are "reasons a show might decide to transfer" as you say, if the show were selling tickets at the little Variety Arts, it would have continued to run there, just as Little Shop of Horrors did at the Orpheum.
Championing our favorite shows (or recordings) is fine; but we really shouldn't pretend the show closed after a relatively short run because the staff wanted it to.
