Trivia
Alan Toy (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) is the first actor ever cast as Roosevelt in any professional production or filming of this musical to actually be a survivor of polio, which FDR also had. In a statement, Toy said, "It is a huge honor to join such a talented ensemble. FDR has always been a role model of accomplishment for me, and I'm thrilled to be able to play him. I tip my hat to NBC and the producers of 'Annie Live!' for authentically casting a person with a Disability for this role. I'm proud to represent the community and hope that we will continue to see more of the Disability Community in roles across entertainment media."

Goofs
The dialogue refers to Elliot Ness as an FBI agent. He was actually a U.S. Treasury agent charged with enforcing Prohibition.

Annie Live is DOA

What's not to hate?

Bad singing, bad acting, bad casting, bad sound, bad makeup (a rubber skullcap? Really), and bad directing make this a living horror.

The high notes sounded more like squealing than singing. It's sad to think that people will think of this production as the definitive ANNIE without ever having seen the 1982 film version.

This Annie is way to big and old looking. BLEH.
