| having so many children and their parents to deal with would drive anyone crazy. So needlessly judgmental. I've done a lot of theatre with kids (and their parents) and if you truly enjoy working with them - and there are many of us that do - I think it can be fantastic. Yes, it takes some effort to keep many kids focused, and some extra staff to help backstage (the official word seems to be "wranglers," which I hate), but that's far from "driving anyone crazy." I really hope you don't hate kids. Regarding Oliver - I seem to think this subject has been brought up before, concerning a Broadway mounting of the Mackintosh revisal, and there were snags with the number of kids needed and current child labor laws, etc. I'm sure there are others here who know more about that. Annie only requires 7 girls (plus, assumedly, a swing and an Annie standby?) - Oliver could require more children (also depending on whether the workhouse boys and Fagin's gang are not the same performers - I've seen/done the show done both that way or with doublings.). In any case, it seems the costs were too much to consider. |

| I know, it’s really become ridiculous. Some people are just incapable of letting anything slide, just adding to the toxicity. It’s amusing that he calls you judgy by judging you. What’s not amusing is his leap from your obviously lighthearted comment to an assumption that you actually “hate children.” As if any normal reader would take that from your post. (And now I’ll get slammed again for referring to a “normal” reader. So many words we’re not allowed to use here). |

| Oh, and mocking an obvious typo. That really elevates the conversation, doesn’t it? | |

| Christ, You can’t anything’s round here without someone going off the deep end. Calm down dear. That's true, "you can't anything's." Whatever the hell that means. And stop patting my head. |
