Anita Munro in Annie the Musical article at Liveguide.com.au

My daughter Anita had her first performane for Preview 2, last night at the Lyric Theatre in Brisbane,Australia and she even made her father cry. She brought heart and soul to her debut performance with a voice like an angel. It was amazing to see her working with an orchestra at the age of 11 years old, her performance is a credit to her dedication & hard work and she is just so focused,just the most brilliant actress from start to finish. It was a two and a half hour show and it seemed to be over so quickly, I didn't want it to end! To see her working along side the greatest Actors of Australian Musical Theatre and fit right in, without nerves or any hesitation, there is no doubt in my mind that she belongs on the stage, and my efforts to help her reach her full potential and follow her dreams, have strengthened. She had a huge crowd of friends and fans to meet her at the Stage Door vying for her attention and autogragh and a photo with her. She received flowers and chocolates and so many wonderful comments. I can't wait until I see her again, I only wish I could afford to go to see every single performance because she has such a magnetic quality you can't take your eyes off her.

I haven't had much time to come and visit my wonderful blogger friends lately  please forgive me, with all the driving back and forth to the theatre my normal life is somewhat a distance memory. 

Wishing you all a wonderful Happy Easter 

Hugs Trish

After running there for nearly six years, it has played in over 22 countries worldwide including the UK, Argentina, Japan, Germany, Sweden, Spain and Australia. Annie became a smash-hit movie musical in 1982 starring Aileen Quinn, Albert Finney and Carol Burnett that is adored worldwide and a fixture of popular culture references.
Annie is full of toe-tapping hits such as It’s the Hard Knock Life, Easy Street, You’re Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile, NYC, Maybe and of course, Tomorrow.
These wonderful songs have become staples of musical theatre repertoires worldwide and now, 34 years on, it remains one of the most loved and universally appealing musicals of all time.
