AILEEN! That film will forever remain one of my favorites, I don't care what the critics have to say. Everyone was perfectly cast. Bernadette Peters, Tim Curry and Carol Burnett were at the top of their game. "We love you, Miss Hannigan!"
I totally agree I was obsessed with her and the original annie movie...she was so adorable..and I loved all the actors in the original..so much better then all the other movies
When I played Annie, my fave part was sitting on the sofa and watching Mark - my Daddy Warbucks - sing "Something Was Missing." Our blocking was such that it seemed as if time had stopped, and Daddy Warbucks was musing to himself, not singing directly to Annie. Call it the magic of the theatre, a combination of the acting, of the heartfelt way Mark sang, the way the lights haloed around him from behind, the shine in the eyes of the people sitting in the front row, but I always really looked forward to that number. I never had to pretend I was crying for my next line.
I know "Tomorrow" was the favorite song, sung by countless little girls over the generations of the musical. But I feel the most underrated and best song of the show is "Maybe." I'm now a middle-aged orphan, having lost both of my parents, and that song means even more to me now than when I saw Annie performed on stage decades ago.
Aileen's "Maybe" always brought tears to my eyes. It was such a sad feeling. However, when she held Molly in her arms it made me feel better. But when they show the other orphans in their bed not having been "tucked in" by their loving parents it made tears stream down my face again. But Aileen's smile kept piercing through all those dark clouds!!!!
Tomorrow has been my ultmate favorite Broadway song and moment since I was 12 years old. I am 45 now. It is the greatest Broadway moment. Well, particularly when Andrea McArdle did/does it. No one can belt out or has that beautiful tone and clarity of vocal ability like she does. She will always be my favorite Broadway star.
I️ played Annie a few months ago at my high school and my favorite part was singing Maybe on opening night and looking at all the children and singing to them. I️t was such a surreal experience and I️ will remember I️t forever
I love that they are all together! ANNIE has always been one of my favorite musicals I watched the movie when I was a little girl and have followed the performances ever since.
my favorite part is when she wins over Mr. Warbucks talking about how much fun she had, just by being in his house and giving Sandy a bath. That was too adorable!
I played warbucks, and my favourite part of the show was probably the beginning of NYC. Me, grace, and Annie got to stand on a balcony, and it felt so cool.
I have loved Annie since I can remember! I remember that was one of the only movies I could sit through entirely. I can remember wanting to audition to play as Annie and sing all of the musical numbers. I love all of the songs but I think my favorite part is when they sing "Tomorrow". That song picks me up no matter what mood I'm in!
When I was a kid I watch 1999 Annie and I would dance and sing along to all songs, my favourites were hard knock life and smile. Side note: I can still dance to it, I thought I'd forgotten but nope! lol
I loved all the songs for it was my 2nd Broadway show I have been to. I was there on 12/12/12 and felt so bad for Lilla when she fell but I was hoping and praying that she recovered fully for she was so fantastic throughout the show.
Would have never recognised the original Annie , wow so different , the sun will come out tomorrow is my favourite ,so touching & emotional , it applies to my life , my mother used to say it to me when I was young 🌞 thankyou Annie , 🌞U.K. 2 USA
I played pepper in the play and I have to say it's such a great story and it's so much fun to perform! I've watched those two ladies ever since I was a little girl and it's so crazy to see them now and the current Annie (who I know from into the woods) is super talented and very lucky!
When I played Annie I loved belting out "Maybe" at the beginning of the show, and Sandy popping out of the box as a Christmas present to Annie as they sang "We're getting a new deal for Christmas" :)!!!
I played Pepper (Main Orphan) in the play Annie when I was 12 and it was the most fun production I’ve ever been in. Just growing up watching the movies Annie, Original version and Disney version, it was so special for me to actually feel like I was apart of it.
Stephanie from all in the family was in the Broadway of Annie in the ‘70’s, and her vocals are on jay-z’s song hard knock life. Danielle Brisebois, look it up.
I just love that. The dog is so wonderful. Lila I think you are just an amazing little girl...Aileen I watched Annie every day and still do ~ you are my FAVORITE ANNIE!!...Andrea your Annie cd was the first Annie album I ever owned ~ I had to buy more because I replayed it all the time. The song "TOMORROW" got me through hard times especially when my mom passed away! I just love ANNIE and hope my kids will too!! Thanks for all your wonderful performances all 3 of you! Can't wait to see you Lila!
I just got to preform at a gala in a choir with the original Broadway Annie, she is so talented and so nice. It was so cool getting to meet her in person and when we had our first rehearsal together (it was actually this morning; I literally just got home from the gala) she was actually astonished by our choir since we’re kids; the oldest ones are 17-18ish and the youngest ones are 8 or 9, so she wasn’t expecting much from us. But it was so fun and she’s such an inspiration.
We did Annie for our fifth grade musical. The girl who got cast as Annie in Annie was just amazing. Our last performance was last Thursday. I am a 5th grade graduate
Annie had such a huge impact on my life, I'm 36 now and still love it. I show it to my kids and they love it too. I wanted desperatly to be like the actress that played Annie (so great to see her in this interview). As for my favourite parts and my kids favourite they love. "It's a Hardknock life" and "I think I'm gonna like it here". I used to love lying in my bed and getting mum to put the blanket over me just so I could pull it back and sing I think I'm gonna like it here :)
Wow, 3 Annies! You are so right, all the songs in the show are great. My favorite is Maybe because if this little girl in an orphanage has dreams, maybe we can dream too.
My fantasy is for all of the Annie's to do a tribute to all of the cast members over the years singing "I Don't Need Anything But You" which I always think should have been titled "Forever Together". Just an old man's thoughts. Thanks for all of the memorable performances from all of us to all of you. 💙💙💙
I loved ALL the songs! Aileen Quinn your performance was spectacular! I have two favorites Hard Knock Life because all the girls sing and dance in it. My other favorite is "Sandy" from Aileen's movie. I love at the end of the song when Aileen sings "Sandy will always be there.".
Cool video, saw it in local players' guild in 2010, had a great Annie who said "it was only a dream" so soothingly, whereas others do it more matter-of-factly. Fun to see different ways they direct it. (Again, though, like Andrea said, some depends on how good the mics are.) I think my favorite part is how positive she always is (being handicapped it's something I'm drwn to) and how she tries to lift everyone's spirits. Favorite song, "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile and "Tomorrow" - I *love* how in the 2012 one the girls are all playing with Miss Hannigan's clothes,s aw it on RUclips and it's *so* much like girls would do! I wrote one Annie fanfic that's actually a "FUll House" one talking about how one group directs it - and about the Annie/Molly friendship and bonding. (There's a way you can imply int he musical Moly is adopted too, but as my character who plays MOlly says, she has to "tell the story with ehr face" at the end. Here is anyone's interested. www.fanfiction.net/s/13772987/1/Annie-Tanner-Style )
I'm 50 and Maybe and NYC are still my favorites. May makes me tear up still today. Do you girls know I still constantly run into people who insist that Aileen is the first Annie and the only other Annie is Quvenzhane. I haven't gotten to see every Annie. I miss the 80s when every year Annie, among other shows performed for the Macy's parade. I live all Annies, but two have always melted my heart just a little more. Shelley Bruce and Alicia Morton. However no Annie scream could shatter chrystal except Aileen.
My favorite moment in the show is "I Don't Need Anything But You". It is where these two knuckle-heads finally realize that can't LIVE without each another!
I saw the stage musical over 160 times and the movie over 75. My favorite part of Annie was, is, and always will be the Hard-Knock Life scene. That's me and my Annie collection museum in "Life After Tomorrow." Nice to see you all on Katie.
My favorite sene is when Aileen and Albert do that dancing at the end of the and the fireworks and then my favorite song comes up and that's tommorow so I have to repeat that part at twice but I have been to the play and it all is just so creative
When I played Miss Hannigan in Annie Jr. (because it was grades 4-6) my favorite part was definitely Easy Street because I got to be with Lily and Rooster who were two really close friends of mine.
I played Miss Hannigan in my local theater's production and I loved the scene where the policeman brings in Annie after he finds her on the street (with Sandy). Me and Annie had such great chemistry and that scene was always so fun to do, especially since it led into the "Little Girls" reprise. I think her favorite part was doing "I Don't Need Anyone But You" with Warbucks.
I'm in Annie for a nearby town and my favorite part is dancing to Your Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile! I also love the part the orphans (me) do in Little Girls!
Yay! I can't believe you guys are finally together! I play Kate and Connie Boylan in our high school's production, and I'd have to say my two favorite scenes is the first Never Fully Dressed and NYC, even though I'm not in it. My favorite line is Hannigan's: "Yeah, I heard her. Next thing you know they'll be making a musical out of her."
I love how they all stuck with the red hair.
mads lilla is wearing a wig
@James McDunn Nope. They all had brown hair. Aileen and Lilla had dark brown hair.
@@riddlemethisriddlemethat4669 Even Andrea? All this time I thought she was a real redhead
I always said there are only 2 requirements for Annie, she has has to be precocious and ridiculously adorable.
AILEEN! That film will forever remain one of my favorites, I don't care what the critics have to say. Everyone was perfectly cast. Bernadette Peters, Tim Curry and Carol Burnett were at the top of their game. "We love you, Miss Hannigan!"
My favorite part of "Annie" is that she never loses hope that someone will love her.
Just seeing Aileen Quinn makes me smile. Oh, how I idolized her as a kid. She's still so cute, too! :)
Alicia Morton is way cuter
Alex Ip i disagree
All my life I idolized Aileen and Annie in general, and I get to finally play her in my high school production! I’ve never cried more😂
@@tysonkailee2476 how can someone idolize Aileen instead of Andrea? lmfao weird people.
I totally agree I was obsessed with her and the original annie movie...she was so adorable..and I loved all the actors in the original..so much better then all the other movies
Holy crap this is adorable

I always loved all of Annie the music will touch your heart May it always Be On Broadway !
omg all three of them are so adorable.. I don't think I could pick a favorite
This is the cutest thing Annie is so special to me so this makes me so happy ahh

i wanna see the original Annie the 1999 Annie and the 2014 Annie all togethere would nice
UNICORNSFOREVER Tatally that would be great
2014 annie movie was horrible
Not movie, broadway show. 2014 Annie would be Lilla Crawford
+alexandra fernandez (Allibean) SO TRUE
1982 and nineteen seventy something was the original.
No one sang those songs better then Aileen. She crushed those Melodie’s and was the most adorable thing since Shirley Temple.
I️ played Annie a few months ago at my high school and my favorite part was singing Maybe on opening night and looking at all the children and singing to them. I️t was such a surreal experience and I️ will remember I️t forever
I love that they are all together! ANNIE has always been one of my favorite musicals I watched the movie when I was a little girl and have followed the performances ever since.
My favorite part in the movie is "We Got Annie". The dancing is MAGNIFICENT!
My favorite part is probably it's a hard knock life. It was really cool what they did in that song.
my favorite part is when she wins over Mr. Warbucks talking about how much fun she had, just by being in his house and giving Sandy a bath. That was too adorable!
I played warbucks, and my favourite part of the show was probably the beginning of NYC. Me, grace, and Annie got to stand on a balcony, and it felt so cool.
I love when Sandy comes out at the end of the show. Especially the dog that's on broadway right now. Super cute!

You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile, NYC, Tomorrow, and Hard Knock Life!
~Katelyn
It's the hard knock life♥♥♥ I loved it when all the kids sang together. It was a great feeling.
My favorite moment of any Annie production is when Andrea Mcardle sings the "Star to Be" section of N.Y.C
I loved the whole thing!
The sets were amazing in the current production! So that would have to be my favorite part of ANNIE Lilla you have an amazing voice!

I love all the songs in Annie!!! In fact, Im playing Annie at my high school!!! Its a really great show and is sooooo fun doing it!!! :)
I'm in Annie through a theater and my fave is probably NYC or I don't need anything but you.

I feel sorry for you
My favorite is the song tomorrow b.t.w I played Annie to and I loved the decorations I loved it.
I love the song "Tomorrow"
Tomorrow will always give me the goose bumps
My favorite part from Annie is Maybe tomorrow together at last and the short version of maybe when Annie sits on the steps
My favorite moment in the show is "I Don't Need Anything But You". It is where these two knuckle-heads finally realize that can't LIVE without each another!
I am now playing Grace at my school!!! And I love i think I'm gonna like it here
hard knock life (I've only seen it on youTube and a school play, never the movie). And when I do I wanna see the original 1982 Annie!
My favorite song is Tomorrow and I have played Annie it felt amazing :)
That would be sooo neat to get to meet these people!!
Amazinf! JUST MERELY AMAZING!
Especially when Andrea McArdle sings it
MY FAVORITE PART OF ANNIE IS ALL OF THE SONGS!!!!!!!! LILLA IS AMAZING AND I WANT TO MEET HER!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite part is when Oliver Warbucks sings "NYC " in the 1999 movie
Hi I was the swing on the original UK tour of Annie I used to love NYC
My favorite part of Annie is, when Annie meets Sandy. I also like the song "it's a hard knock life."
My favourite song is ‘ I think I’m going like it here’ , many of my LAMDA students are doing Annie songs this year...they are great to direct x
my fav part of annie is the song tomorrow and how its live on forever.
Omg I was just in a annie play watching this brings me memories ;)
I like the memory of when Annie was tucked into bed in the movie by both of her future parents.
My favorite sene is when Aileen and Albert do that dancing at the end of the and the fireworks and then my favorite song comes up and that's tommorow so I have to repeat that part at twice but I have been to the play and it all is just so creative
i am your biggest fan!
When I played Miss Hannigan in Annie Jr. (because it was grades 4-6) my favorite part was definitely Easy Street because I got to be with Lily and Rooster who were two really close friends of mine.
OMG I just found my mothers favorite Annie and mine I love the Broadway were she loves the movie!
All of it is my fav!!
My all time favorite part of Annie in 1982 with Aileen Quinn is when they went to the movies!
Amazing it's a hard knock life
I was Annie in my school show recently and my favourite part was when I sang Hard knock life and tomorrow with the dog, so much fun.
I like when Annie sang tomorrow with the president!!!! Lilla was amazing!!!!
I like when Annie and Daddy Warbucks sang Together At Last Together Forever and when Annie sang Maybe in the orphanage thinking about her parents.
I played Miss Hannigan in my local theater's production and I loved the scene where the policeman brings in Annie after he finds her on the street (with Sandy).
