Annie (Original 1982 Motion Picture Soundtrack)
$7.99 Okay, so the theme song of this 1977 show, "Tomorrow," hasn't improved in 21 years or become more endurable, but nobody ever sang it better or meant it more than Andrea McCardle, the original heroine of this musical based on the Depression-era comic strip. Although Annie's an orphan, there's nothing much depressing about the rest of this Charles Strouse score with lyrics by Martin Charnin. Even "W... |

Annie (1999 Television Film)
$6.99 The cast of Disney's 1999 television production of Annie reads like a who's who of Tony winners: Grace is played by Audra McDonald (Ragtime, Carousel, Master Class), Rooster is Alan Cumming (Cabaret), and Lily is Kristin Chenoweth (You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown).

Annie [VHS]
$4.20 Disney's 1999 TV production of the classic 1977 musical Annie is remarkable for its casting of stage actors rather than ratings trump cards. Tony winners Audra McDonald (Grace), Alan Cumming (Rooster), and Kristin Chenoweth (Lily) join four-time nominee Victor Garber (Daddy Warbucks) and Les Misérables veteran Alicia Morton (Annie) to tell the tale of the Depression-era orphan who gets a taste of... |
