About
You’ll likely enjoy this upbeat, old-school musical if you love heartfelt orphans, catchy songs, and big family fun; Not for you if you want a darker, more serious story, or if you prefer newer takes like Annie (2014) or Annie (1999).
Pros: catchy musical numbers; big heart; memorable performances | Cons: plot feels strained; some songs miss; mixed audience views
