Andrea McArdle Annie again
By Pablo Gorlero
On 21 April 1977 opened on Broadway a musical comedy that would make history: Annie , with book by Thomas Meehan, lyrics and direction by Martin Charnin and music by Charles Strouse. Was based on Harold Gray comic strip Little Orphan Annie called , Released daily in the Chicago Tribune , since 1924. Charnin fell in love with these characters: an orphan, a dog full of fleas, adopted by a ultramillonario. And around them imagined the lives of every one of them, the characters that surround and a social context marked by the Great Depression 30. It was a big risk: working with a group of little girls and a dog, and to sing no less than President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Needless to say, he became one of the most beloved musicals and even Gray would have imagined that his creatures have a life so lush. He spent six years in a row on the bill (with several reruns) and its star Andrea McArdle was a little girl who made eyes water more than one at that time. Today, Andrea McArdle returned to work with Annie , but to play Miss Hannigan, the ruler of the orphanage and villain of the moment. This time it is she who must support the girls stomp. The work premiered at the prestigious North Carolina Theatre, directed by Casey Hushion with Bernhardt Inglés, as Annie. And large, McArdle also worked in other musical Les Miserables, Beauty and the Beast, Starlight Express, Gypsy and State Fair.
In Argentina, Annie debuted in 1982, Lola Membrives theater. Girls who participated in this assembly is elected through a television program hosted by Pinky (itself, one of its producers). Noelia Noto, now based in Spain, was the main character, Cecilia Campos and his alternate. Among the other "orphan girls" were Eleonora Wexler and Nancy Anka. The rest of the cast starring as completed Raul Lavie, Maria Alexandra, Jovita Luna, Hector Pilatti, Laura Rivo, Jorge Larrea, Guillermo Marín and Rodolfo Valss.
Today in Monterrey (Mexico) is about to release a new version of Anita, the orphan .
