Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: The sentiment behind “Annie” is one for troubled times: No matter how bad things seem right now, this, too, shall pass. For the whole family, there’s also the joy of witnessing a pre-tween girl sing up a storm and go from hard knocks to high society. She’s the real deal who gets the New Deal on course, and if you don’t know what the New Deal is, well, you get to see a little girl inspire a president to create jobs and boost the economy.

I've never actually seen Annie on stage, only the movie, but I've heard a lot about the show. However, I did recently watch a documentary called "Annie: It's the Hard Knock Life, from Script to Stage" about the revival production that was on Broadway. This documentary was extremely well down and I thought was a very factual look into the process of the creation of a production. Based on the documentary and this review, I really hope a get a chance to get see this show while it was here. Another reason I enjoy this show so much, is because of its optimistic message like the article states, something that we all often need in life.
