It just occurred to me that Strouse tried to write musical sequels to TWO of his biggest hits: ''Annie'' and ''Bye Bye Birdie.''
''Bring Back Birdie'' (1981), starring Chita Rivera, closed after 4 performances, and ''Annie 2'' never made it to Broadway.
I did get to see the rechristened ''Annie Warbucks'' (1993) Off-Broadway and loved the terrific torch song ''But You Go On.''
Never saw ''Bring Back Birdie,'' but there's a catchy tune in it, ironically called ''You Can Never Go Back.'' |
