A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Annie

Broadway on TV alert! Broadway on TV alert! PBS is airing a new documentary this week that gets down and dirty with the team behind the current revival of Annie.

“Annie: It’s the Hard-Knock Life, From Script to Stage” zooms in on the creation of a single number in the show (that’d be “It’s the Hard-Knock Life,” of course). There’s a ton of interesting footage of both the super-talented orphans and the awesome creative team—including one of our all-time faves, choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler—at work. You’ll get a look at everything from the costume and set designs to the dance rehearsals. And naturally, there’s plenty of the cast of orphans just being their insanely cute selves.

The film airs this Friday, June 28 at 9 pm EST (click here to check your local listings). In the meantime, take a peek at this trailer, which features Blankenbuehler doing his not-to-be-missed “angry orphan” face:
