Musical are one of the thing I love from watching "West Side Story" to "Evita" to "Phantom of the Opera", the Annie musical began back in 1978. In 1982, the movie version was released starring Albert Finney(Erin Brokovic), Aileen Quinn, Ann Reinking, and Carol Burnett.
It tells the story of an orphan named annie who's only dream is that of her mother who will one day come back for her...one day, she is chosen to go and spend time with this local rich bloke. He falls in love with her as she does with him and he becomes her father figure. He tries to find her parents but it turns out that they didn't want to come back to her so she stayed with him and left the orpanage and mrs hannigan. this is a brilliant film which cotains what i'm sure are some of the most talented musical singers and songs ever written...
One of my favorite songs from the Annie Musical is ‘Tomorrow’. Going through hard time and in the musical reflecting the depression of the 30's, it gave people great hope to remember that ‘The sun will come out tomorrow’. It is easy to be stuck in the past, in fear and discouragement.
The ‘Annie’ musical reminds us to be to belive in tomorrow. To believe in the future gives us the courage to face each day’s challenges. “Just thinkin’ about tomorrow clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow.” Life can beat us down and make us want to give up. The Annie musical reminds us that “ya gotta hang on ’til tomorrow come what may”. The future can seem very mysterious and inaccessible. The Annie musical reminds us that : “Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya Tomorrow! You’re always a day a way!” Booya... Tomorrow ...tomorrow...
