Earlier this year, Marina and I saw the new movie version of
Annie. We were excited when the American Girl store offered an excursion to see the touring production based on the original prodcution.

Marina and I planned to wear spring dresses to the show, but after a snow storm overnight we wore warmer clothes. Marina brought Kaya in her shawl dress and wore a red dress that with coordinated with her.
We arrived early at the American Girl store and shortly afterwards we boarded a bus to the theater. We ate lunch on the bus. Marina also played on her phone for much of the ride.

When we arrived at the theater, we got to take a "behind the scenes" tour of the theater complex. The guide took us in the theater where we saw
The Unsinkable Molly Brown. Marina and the other girls got a chance to go onstage and pose for photos.
Next we saw where costumes are made. We saw several examples on display and the stages each costume goes through in the construction process. Each girl received an
Annie patch after the tour was over.
We returned to the theater to see the show. We had wonderful seats and found some friends of ours (who weren't with the group) were seated in the same row.

The show was wonderful. Marina loved the little girls in the show ans laughed at Miss Hannigan's antics. She even sang along with some of the songs she knew. At the
end she quickly jumped to her feet to give the cast a standing ovation.
Marina's only disappointment was not being able to meet the cast at the end of the show. Otherwise, she had a great time at the show today.
