Annie the Musical at MBS

When I saw the flyer for Annie the other day (while I was looking for GSS deals to call out to me) I knew I wanted to take Sofia to watch it. 

I wanna watch!!!

I loved Annie so much when I was Sofia's age that all my Annie memories came flooding back. I remember I used to sleepover at my grandparents house every Friday night and I would beg my aunts to watch Annie (the Movie) with me. I'm pretty sure we watched it every Friday night until all of us them got sick of it because I remember watching Mary Poppins too. I'm pretty sure my aunts were trying to convince me to watch something new, but it was never as good as Annie.

I have been convincing Sofia that she wants to watch Annie by showing her songs from the musical on youtube. Since tickets are quite pricey (SG$125 for decent seats), I told her we'll only go if she wants to watch. I described Annie by telling her it's mommy's Mama Mia (which is her absolute favorite movie/musical, she even squealed to me that her grandfather lied about her age so she could watch the Mama Mia production in Manila). 

We even found a full movie on youtube. The funny thing is, I think we found different version from the one I watched so often so many years ago. Sofia's glued to it now just as I was at her age. Success!!! 

Do you know that Sara Jessica Parker (in Broadway), Catherine Zeta Jones (in West End), Lea Salonga (in Manila) and Me (in the shower) all played Annie?  

I even managed to find a deal on the tickets if you pay by paypal. You can save 25% on the Reserve B (SG$125) tickets if for every pair you buy (technically the scheme is 50% off the second ticket). Since I am such a sucker for a sale, I am definitely watching this play!

Annie will be showing at the Marina Bay Sands Theater from 10 July to 5 August 2012.

The sun will come out tomorrow... bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow, there'll be sun...
