Description
Leapin’ Lizards! We watched Annie (1982) with our friend Brad Liberti and I think we’re gonna like it here! Whether you like it or not, this movie holds a place in our collective consciousness. The story of the little orphan girl who made it out of the slums and into the mansion of a misanthropic oligarch is deeply entrenched in our early movie watching memories. Some of us fantasized about being Annie and going off to live in an estate the size of the Mall of America with a staff peppered with racial stereotypes. Others dreamt of making bathtub gin, while wearing costume jewelry and lingerie. Either way, this movie is iconic. The trio of Carol Burnett, Tim Curry and Bernadette Peters is what gay rights are made of. The opening number of Hard Knock Life featuring orphan girls flipping, stomping and bucking across Miss Hannigan’s orphanage give us life (Matilda could never). And I don’t care what your orientation is, who didn’t fall in love with Ann Reinking as Daddy Warbucks’ secretary/love interest Grace? Maybe the movie buried the lead and underplayed “Tomorrow” and maybe the movie differs a little too much from the stage production. This musical might be better in your memory as a child, but it still brings out a smile in the cynic in all of us.
