Firstly, we had been very excited to see this and our seats were good and we had to get cushions (for my 7 year old & myself) as a very tall person was 2 seats in front and his head took up the whole stage. I had to sit on my legs! Not happy for nearly $240.00
Secondly, it was so hot in there with the heating - my daughter & I were taking off layers and thus, it distracted my daughter being fidgety!
Thirdly, we both felt it was miscast - especially Miss Hannigan (her costume was completely wrong & perhaps this would have changed our feelings & a little too old for the part I feel) & Grace was a little to presumptuous in her voice. Rooster & Miss Hotel were the highlight - they suited their parts & costumes! The kids were great too!
Fourthly, Annie's straight wig a disappointment!
Finally, Mr warlow I am sure would have been a better choice for Mr Warbucks as he appears a bit more imposing - the second one was of too little structure & appeared too small for the part!
Note: theatre is visual & perhaps I care for this more as the songs speak for themselves
We left at half time and all that was offered was to move to other seats as they would be perhaps cooler - the heat & our blocked vision was the cause of leaving - we had had enough! I would have preferred a refund really. I am a single parent & saved up and we stayed in a hotel and travelled from our country home to see this show & the hotel was the Highlight! - a big disappointment as it was my daughter's first theatre show and doubt if she will want to go again!
