On-The-Road Update










Greetings! Whew! We got through it! This past week has been wild and crazy (well a little more of the latter). As I mentioned last week we traveled five cities in five states in seven days. We have traveled a total of 1,560 miles this week.

Last night in Lafayette, IN we had a little friendly competition. J. Michael Zygo (Rooster) headed up an Oscar night party, keeping track of all of the ballots and making sure we all stayed honest.

Congratulations to Cheryl Hoffmann (Lily), Andy Meyers (Bert Healy), and Sunny Naughton (Orphan Swing/Wrangler). They all tied for 1st place with each correctly guessing 12 winners.

We are now in Wheeling, WV, our stop-over before we head to Washington, DC tomorrow. The excitement in the company is building.

They are all thrilled to be in one place for one week and also to spend some time sight seeing. The girls and Ms. Lori are very, very excited to be going to the White House. Everyone is also anticipating seeing many folks from the NETworks office. We are so close to home base we will be getting some fun visits this week! Well back to work, hope everyone has a great week (I know we will).

Catch up with you soon.

On-The-Road Update










Hello Everyone!

So this is it, our last super-crazy week! This week we will be traveling to five different cities in five different states. Lots of time on the road and lots of time in the theatres: we have 9 shows this week! It is definitely going to be a tough week but we have such a wonderful and committed company they will surely fly through with no problem.

We are, as I have mentioned before, returning to the chill of the North. I think some of the girls are excited because I have heard whisperings of snowman building. I am not sure the adults share in their excitement, but it will be nice to see all the pretty snow (and there is a lot of it). I can say for sure that everyone is excited about going to Washington, DC next week. We are staying in a great hotel (yeah, they have kitchens) and we have the time to see a few of the sights. Well back to the show... catch up with you from the Nation’s Capitol!

On-The-Road Update










Greetings all!

Well another week has passed and we are getting closer and closer to a long span of week-long stays! We have just a few crazy one-nighter weeks left. We will soon be leaving the busses behind and flying from city to city for a while. Everyone is very excited to visit some of the upcoming cities. I know that Ms. Lori and the girls are anticipating visiting Washington, DC. They will be taking quite a few field trips while in our Nations Capitol. I believe they will also be making time to tour historic Boston.

Well back to the show, hope everyone has a great week!

Oh, and don't think we forgot...

From all of us here at the Annie National Tour - Happy Valentines Day XOXO

On-The-Road Update










Hello everyone!

Well I am pleased to tell you that the strange cold/flu/plague that had been keeping the cast and crew under the weather is on the run.

Everyone's heath is much better and I am sure that may have something to do with the fact that we have been in some pretty great weather. Right now we are in Corpus Christi, TX the weather is amazing (81 and breezy) and our hotel is right on the water.

Last night we actually had the evening off! Company members scatted to the wind. Some of the crew even went fishing. We have heard that they caught quite a bounty and then proceeded to grill the fish and have a bonfire (small but efficient) in the parking lot of the hotel. We are keeping south for a little while longer and then it is back to the frozen north.

Hope everyone is well and have a great week.
