Annie: Thirty Years Later

Steve On Broadway (SOB): "Nearly two years before I ever set foot in New York City and six before I would see my first show in a Broadway theatre, I was truly fortunate to be among thirty Homestead High School juniors and seniors from Mequon-Thiensville (Wisconsin) to travel with history teacher Brook Brown and his wife Liz for an extraordinary action packed ten-day journey, first to London and then to Paris."

It must be interesting to be able to experience a production of Annie now as opposed to 30 years ago. I'm sure there are many things that have changed in that amount of time, and I feel being able to see a show multiple times over a lengthened period would give someone a deeper understanding of the history of the show's production.

While I myself can't really imagine seeing Annie multiple times, his reaction to and enthusiasm about live theater is very touching. Live theater is such a unique entertainment experience, and it makes you proud to be part of the theatrical process when you read about the extent that audience members are moved by performances.
