Loved it
We went to the evening show last night. I took
my 4 year old and 7 year old. This rendition of
Annie was PHENOMENAL. Annie’s voice was on
point. If I closed my eyes it was like I was
watching the movie. Daddy Warbucks stoke my
heart, he was AMAZING. My kids actually sat
still and sang alone with the songs. I love that
this was a local production and would highly
recommend it. Very friendly staff also. Kudos
to the cast and crew for putting on such a
fabulous show. ... Read more

Great show
I took my 6 year old to the Wednesday night showing and it was a great performance! Annie was spot on. Many powerful voices!
We have noticed with the last several shows at the Orpheum that the sound crews have been off their game. We spent a lot of time wondering if it's the facility that needs upgrading, or if it's road crews that have a hard time adjusting to our theater acoustics. ... Read more
