Being a part of this production of Annie has been SO FUN!!! It's true that kids and dogs steal the show. So... how could this not be awesome?? :) This cast is so talented!! They range in age from 8-18 years old. And both the dogs are 5 years old, in case you were wondering!! ;)
I am now the full time handler for "Sandy" as well as the "stray dog". So this has been a really good experience for me and Jasmine!

This is "Annie" hanging out with the "Stray Dog". :)
After each show, the whole cast goes into the lobby to take pictures and sign autographs. (Jasmine has her own paw stamp!) This is Jaz with one of the orphans.
This is Jaz and "Rooster".
Can you say SPOILED?? Jaz doesn't even stay in her dressing room anymore. She goes down the actor's lounge to get attention from all the actors! (Who all adore her!) She's going to go through some major withdraws when this is all done! And actually, this is last week for people to come see this production of "Annie". It's been a big time commitment, but SO MUCH FUN!! And we've met so many wonderful people! And it's just cool being backstage for a production.
It's not really a hard knock life for these orphans! These songs from "Annie" are stuck in my head! When I go to sleep at night, I'm singing them in my head. When I wake up in the morning, it's usually a different song. It's a good thing these are really great songs!! (Or I wouldn't enjoy it so much!) (I have this one memorized because right after this song is when Jasmine goes on stage!!)
This is "Molly". She makes Jaz look HUGE!!
You're never fully dressed without a smile.... seems to fit appropriately for this cast. They're always all smiles!! :D
Last but not least, this sign backstage always makes me laugh. Probably the first and last time I will ever see a sign telling me not to poke the champagne. ;) (I'm not sure what's in the glasses. Jello maybe? I guess everyone wants to poke it to find out!) Being a part of this production of Annie has been one of the highlights of this year. One of the cast members wrote on his Facebook "There are no small parts, only small actors." Well, in Jasmine's case... she does have a small part... and that's because she's a small furry actor!! ;) And we're cool with that! ;) It's all good!! :D
This looks like so much fun. Did anyone make a video of the production?
ReplyDeleteHow awesome you were cast in the broadway production of Annie! Just recently another one of my blogger friends, who is a Golden was cast in Annie too! Those orphans are so adorable & I must say, you are one very well groomed "stray dog". TEE HEE
ReplyDeleteHope you had a fun time!
