I appreciate that insight. As I noted, my experience with musical theater
is rather limited - only a handful of professional productions and a
boatload of high school, college and community theater productions. So I
really was talking about the film version of Annie, and comparing it to
other musical films. I also agree that SOM, even well done, is a vastly
overrated show.
