Charles Strouse, Martin Charnin, Andrea McArdle, Dorothy Loudon, Reid Shelton - Annie (1977 Original Broadway Cast) - Music

The original Broadway cast recording of Annie still has as much charm as it did in 1977.

Charles Strouse wrote the snappy music and Martin Charnin's clever lyrics capture the misery of the Great Depression, the glitter of the upper-krust life, and the character of the FDR administration.

Andrea McArdle shines in the title role, most notably with the classic anthem 'Tomorrow,' while Tony-winner Dorothy Loudon and Reid Shelton provide support as the hag Miss Hannigan and the benevolent Daddy Warbucks, respectively.
