PEORIA, IL -- The musical Annie, now at the Peoria Civic Center for tonight before it moves on, is lively and well done. The show even includes a live dog in the cast, though it doesn't sing.
Annie also includes a paper program, so that the other cast members are identified. (The two dogs listed are Kevin and Cooper.)
And wonder of wonders the Civic Center's theater has been redone, with nice new carpet in the halls.It still needs more restrooms, and should ditch the transparent bag policy.
The show checks all the boxes: good cast, good stage sets, good costumes, good music, live orchestra. This classic play still works, and is a fine addition to this year's Broadway series at the theater.
