Annie/YMMV

""And I know I'll forget How much she meant to me And how she was almost my Baby Maybe.""
 * Adaptation Displacement
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: "Maybe", "Tomorrow", "NYC", "Easy Street"...
 * Ear Worm: Tomorrow
 * Jerkass Woobie: Miss Hannigan, who drinks on the job to relieve the stress.
 * And then consider that the time she lives in has given her a double-whammy of disadvantage: not only is there a depression, but her gender would severely limit her job options as well. Basically, she had no option but to work a job that she was completely unsuited for.
 * Retroactive Recognition: Many, many actresses got their start in some production of Annie. To list them all would probably double the page size, but a few notables:
 * Sarah Jessica Parker as a Broadway Annie
 * Molly Ringwald as an orphan in a West Coast production
 * A pre-Lizzie McGuire Lalaine as an orphan in the 1999 movie.
 * The documentary Life After Tomorrow, though mainly interviewing former orphans that dropped out of the spotlight, had a few recognizable faces, including MSNBC anchor Dara Brown, Martha Byrne, Senta Moses, and Joanna Pacitti.
 * Sequelitis: Annie 2 starring Danielle Findley as Annie (and Annie 2, at that), which got heavy interest (read: advance $ale$) from people who wanted to revisit Annie... until it opened up. In the end, the creators chose not to subject Broadway to what had gotten silence from angry theater-goers at Kennedy Center, even after alterations.
 * Tear Jerker: "So maybe now this prayer's the last one of its kind...won't you please come get your baby...maybe..."
 * Warbucks' reprise of "Maybe":


 * Values Dissonance: Considering that Harold Gray killed off Warbucks when FDR took office because of his fervent opposition to his policies, he likely wouldn't be taking the prospect of Warbucks praising the New Deal well.
