Miss Hannigan, Rooster, and Lily sing "Easy Street". Rooster was the first role I ever played on stage in 1993.
Grace smirks as I look on, reaching for the phone.
Fred McCracken and Wacky
Bert Healy singing "Hey, Hobo Man"
The lovely Boylan Sisters. In the script, I had to mention "Oxydent toothpaste with Miracle L-64 to fight bad breath," but when the set arrived, the backdrop said "Miracle K-64, so I had to change my lines.
Talking to President Roosevelt in the White House. This was dress rehearsal and the marine guard (far right) didn't yet have his costume.
Singing to Annie in the Warbucks mansion.
Another, less orange, Annie. We had alternate kids casts, both excellent.
Annie explains why I can't take her locket.
Singing "Something Was Missing".
I had an ultra quick change before this scene, and, at the dress rehearsal, I forgot to take off my light coloured trousers. I only realised this about fifteen minutes later and I laughed on stage.
