**** Highly Recommended Music Theater Works’ production of "Annie" was delightful. The show was even more enjoyable when I heard delighted laughter from my grand-niece Maeve, who just turned eight. Although I’ve seen many productions of this perennial holiday favorite, this is the first time I’ve been able to share the joy with a little girl. Maeve was definitely into the show, laughing at all the ‘little girl’ jokes. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - "Annie: is the perfect show to introduce young people to live theater.  4 Spotlights
