The original Gennaro choreography for Annie was brilliant and You're Never Fully Dressed was the best of it, that and the staging of Easy Street. Hard Knock Life was simple and great. You can see the original You're Never Fully Dressed right here - this is when choreographers knew how to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-44jUFsqdoI also watched other versions of this number and yikes. Especially the TV movie version, which is everything you need to know about choreographers not being what they were.
I would like to have a big cat tree to sleep in.

LOL, I don't recall bumping and grinding like strippers.We saw it in the spring of '79 when my parent's were visiting us in New Jersey. What I recall the most about it was my mother and I having the same reaction. We both walked away feeling sad.In the link BK gave from the 1977 Tonys, it's the tush-bump down the line at 1:17 I was talking about. (My mind added the grind, I guess>) And Little Molly becoming actress Danielle Brisebois for a moment, bowing and acknowledging the audience's applause. Magic in 1977. Danielle B. of course went on to some TV sitcom stardom.

Have we linked to this before - Maybe BK knows who thought of re-using most of this Strouse tune, or if there's a story of interest. This is the very short film the Charles Strouse tune for "Tomorrow" was originally mostly written for. The song "The Way It Is Now" (sung in the film by Shelley Plimpton) starts around 2-1/2 minutes in, and then over the end credits. "Replay" - short 1970 film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO811mJzD1Y
