About Annie, The Musical? By: Kerrianne Skidmore I wish that Annie the musical could be my elective all year long. As I did whatever needed to be done in this play, I thought a lot about what made this play be so magical. Was it Allie Gilbowit’s amazing voice, or Rebecca Hensley’s sly sarcasm in her dump of an office? Tessie’s whining or the beautiful sets?
