Video Preview! Original Annie Star Andrea McArdle Returns to the Orphanage as Miss Hannigan

Video Preview! Original Annie Star Andrea McArdle Returns to the Orphanage as Miss Hannigan
Three decades after playing the title role, Andrea McArdle is now Miss Hannigan in 'Annie.'

Over 30 years ago Andrea McArdle delighted audiences as Broadway's original redheaded orphan in the Tony-winning musical Annie. After her "Hard Knock Life" days, McArdle continued a sucessful acting career in shows such as Les Miserables, Beauty and the Beast and State Fair. Now McArdle's career is coming full circle as she reunites with the orphans of Annie in the North Carolina Theatre's summer production, this time to complain about the "Little Girls" as the show's villainous Miss Hannigan. The Today Show paid a visit to the theater to chat with McArdle about continuing the Annie legacy and what it's like returning to the show after all these years. Correspondent Al Roker even pops onstage for a little improvisation...as Warbucks' long lost son?! Take a look!
