The Iconic 'It's the Hard-Knock Life' | Annie Live! 

I’ve worked with Annie in her previous hows and she’s such a sweet soul! And an amazing actor!

Really well done. Flawless choreography with great camera motion and good singing from all these kids. Bravo!

Love the energy and fantastic talents of these young actors!!! Great performance!!!🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hey, that’s me! ❤ The one with the big hair.

wowow I've never seen a hard knock with such muscular dance choreography. Awesome! Girls of Annie givin the boys of Newsies a run for their money.

"Stead of kisses we get kicked" that one just hit different

I love the middle part - where they added the tapdancin on the table - awesome

Holy cow, they do flips as easily as they breathe!

I totally forgot Annie Live even happened until just now lol

So cool

an utter classic! love this musical so much

I so love seeing mops and buckets included as props in the choreography!! I'm remembering when a Broadway revival left out the buckets...kids were great, but those buckets just had to be there!! Well done!

If the 2014 version had been like this maybe it would have been successful

Where can i find an instrumental for this version?

Be nice if Annie could at least do a cartwheel.

A black Annie . Good grief what has this world come too

One of my favorite musicals on Broadway 🎭

Growing up in the 70's and 80's, Annie and Grease were my go-to musicals. I love to see the way Annie has evolved. The talent in this production is mind-blowing, from the choreography to the singers. It brings awe-inspired tears to my eyes to see this beloved part of my childhood reach new heights!

Aww, I really felt for the Santa Claus girl. 😭❤

While these girls are all fantastic dancers, this production also shows that they put too much focus on that part, making the acting and singing weaker parts. It's incredibly hard to find children who are great at acting, dancing and singing solo. The dancing is great, but the acting performances make the emotional storytelling weak and that's a bummer

Love the break down scene

There's a bit of Newsies over this version and i love it!

Race-swapped

These kids are really talented

Second favorite musical next to your cats musical

Tessa frascogna is a beautifull talented dancer and her face is very expressive! I dream to leave from Italy to Usa, for watching a musical like this one!

I’m in hard knock life

Oh my god I love annie

Yeah, this is really fantastic. They do it so well.

Who is the girl doing the 🤏🏻 in the smidge part?

Were the kids really singing or was it pre-recorded?

I saw this musical in the. CITY. of Londen In. 1982

I may have missed it listed somewhere, but what theater / production of Annie is this take from? It's amazing!!!

This is horrible

That girl forgot her line 😭😭😭

What happen to the red hair?? Great choreography!

Stomp

Why do they look so angry? Lol. There’s supposed to be frustrated and despondent

my favorite show!!!

Where is Annie?

A second

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

That was amazing ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

Her voice is amazing. When she gets older it’s going to be even bigger-I think she will end up a mezzo with a huge range. Very clear tone. Amazing diction. Good acting. Good presence.

Where is Annie

I looked up this song, hoping to see something from the movies. But this blew me away! Wow, these girls are talented!

Yeah this was a mess. Too angry. Bizarre orchestrations and the dance moves were way too hootchie momma/ club night/acrobatic circus to be the musical "Annie" It is well understood that "Annie" is a strict stereotype casting and when that is altered it just falls out if bed. No matter how good anyone is in the role. It is based on a comic strip that has its own post Hoover/ stock market crash damaged USA message. Its also a period old world Pre-war setting so it is a rather difficult show to play around with.The same with Oliver. The musical spirit however transcends in set numbers...but the entire dramatic effect of the show is a minefield to reimagine.

Not bad
