What great theater -- and TV!

It shows how the opening number in the acclaimed Annie revival was put together from a number of perspecitves: casting, music, set design, costumes, choreography, etc. Told chronologically so you know how much time until Opening Night.
Multiple, interwoven storylines. Fascinating personailities.
My daughter played Annie in a recent local production and I watched it with her. Great time.
One of the benefits of having a son at Fordham is seeing a show on Broadway when we're visiting.
So far: Death of a Salesman (Phillip Seymour Hoffman; unreal) and Cinderella (meh, but the family loved it).
Set your TIVO or watch it at the link.
