Let's be honest - you probably know exactly how you feel about Annie before you take your seat.
Disney has a history of fantasy.
Even though its source material is a children's book, The Secret Garden plays on stage with a complex emotional maturity.
As a child of the 90s, the classic Disney movies have a special place in my heart.
Over time, we have come to a point where the musical theater genre is as identifiable as any other genre.
