It's hard to fault the performances of the leads in this musical. The girls playing the other orphans were good little performers, though we could have done with less shriek in their ensemble singing. It's a lovely fairytale, and those with an investment in the future of the musical should consider giving out free tickets to school children. I can't think of a better introduction to the pleasures of this theatrical form. Annie is at the Regent Theatre, Collins Street, Melbourne.
