Product Description

From Amazon.com

The original Broadway cast recording of Annie still has as much charm as it did in 1977. Charles Strouse wrote the snappy music and Martin Charnin's clever lyrics capture the misery of the Great Depression, the glitter of the upper-crust life, and the character of the FDR administration. Andrea McArdle shines in the title role, most notably with the classic anthem "Tomorrow," while Tony-winner Dorothy Loudon and Reid Shelton provide support as the hag Miss Hannigan and the benevolent Daddy Warbucks, respectively.

The 1998 remastered edition includes as bonus material 17 minutes of tape Strouse and Charnin recorded for backers' auditions in 1972. They present the seven songs with some plot structure and early ideas for characters ("Miss Asthma" was a precursor for Miss Hannigan). Many of the songs didn't survive the final cut, but "Just Wait" eventually became "Little Girls" and "We Got Annie" was resurrected for the 1982 film. "Tomorrow" also appears--touted as the song's earliest recording--and Strouse and Charnin's rendition will increase your appreciation of McArdle. You won't listen to this rough draft every time you play the CD, but you'll enjoy it if you have any interest in the show. The booklet includes the original synopsis and production notes as well as new notes by Charnin on the extra tracks, but no lyrics. --David Horiuchi

Andrea McArdle and the original cast; a gem July 12 2004
Format:Audio CD
The original 1977 cast of ANNIE still cannot be beat, with its original titled moppet Andrea McArdle in her Broadway debut. Dorothy Loudon is still the definitive Miss Hannigan, with Reid Shelton giving Daddy Warbucks a warmth and sincerity that is seldom seen with any other actor playing the role. Robert Fitch and Barbara Erwin are magical in the roles of slimy Rooster and Lily St. Regis. Sandy Faison is a glowing Grace, and the late great Laurie Beechman shines in a variety of small roles. Raymond Thorne plays F.D.R. (he amazingly stayed for the entire Broadway run), and the ensemble is strong and tight.

This beautiful new reissue of the original cast album contains bonus tracks of the original backers' auditions tape, where composer-lyricits Martin Charnin and Charles Strouse first introduced this marvellous score. The tape is interesting in that you hear some songs that were cut prior to the Broadway opening (like "Apples" and "I've Never Been So Happy), and we learn that the melody-line for "Little Girls" was originally written for a song called "Just Wait". Truly one of the mandatory albums in any Broadway collection.

A Great CD Jun 21 2004
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This CD was great because it is the original Broadway soundrack. I think it has better vocals than the movie soundtrack as well.
