An interesting fact about the song "Tomorrow" from the musical Annie

[CapeCodTenor]

I was just listening to an interview on the Broadway channel on Sirius, and found out that when the Broadway Musical Annie was written the song "Tomorrow" wasn't originally in the show. The song was written only as a means to fill time while the set was changed. Charles Strouse said that when he went to see the show after it had opened and people were clapping after the song, he thought people were clapping for the choreography and not the song. He literally had no idea he'd written a hit. How funny is that?

I had no idea about that! And you would think i would, my dd did the Broadway national tour a few years back and I thought i knew everything Annie!

This is one reason I got Sirius, I love the intereviews Seth Rudeski does. That's cool about your DD doing the national tour. Was she one of the orphans or an adult?

My dd was one of the orphans, playing every role but Molly. I had to travel with her to 42 states as well as a few cities in Canada. I also chaperoned 2 other girls along the way. Very strange now because she is auditioning with some of the girls that were adults on the tour. They can't believe she grew up!

Very interesting!

I'll tell our DD. She is in her high school production of "Annie" right now!
