ANNIE

Anthony Warlow is a musical theatre legend in Australia, and he's just made his Broadway debut playing Daddy Warbucks in the Broadway revival of Annie.

I was curious, so I Googled reviews, hoping to hear what they thought of him. And it's wonderful news!

From Hollywood reporter
"Perhaps the most distinguishing element in this production, however, is Australian musical-theater and opera veteran Warlow’s impressive Broadway debut as Daddy Warbucks, the industrialist who discovers the gentle joys of parenthood. The actor has tremendous stage chemistry with Crawford, and his pristine baritone makes “Something Was Missing” an unexpectedly moving high point."
And from The Wall Street Journal
"As for Mr. Warlow, an Australian musical-theater performer with extensive operatic experience, he's destined for stage stardom. Not only does he sing "Something Was Missing," his solo number, with bewitching finesse—vocal connoisseurs will be dazzled by his skillful use of head voice—but he acts as well as he sings. Moreover, he and Ms. Crawford have terrific onstage chemistry, so much so that you'll have no trouble believing that they love one another."
As a proud Australian, this makes me super happy! Anthony Warlow is such a huge talent, and a lovely guy so I'm glad Broadway is appreciating his talent!
