Straight-Shooter Andrea McArdle on the Perfect Annie Cast, Life as a Theater Icon and Her New Musical Role

Andrea McArdle is a straight-shooter, which makes her guest appearance on Show People with Paul Wontorek a must-see. The original star of Annie opens up about the effect of the iconic role on her career (not great), explains why she should be considered to play Miss Hannigan in the forthcoming revival (she learned from the best, Dorothy Loudon) and offers her own casting choice for the title role. The newly single McArdle, back in New York co-starring with daughter Alexis Kalehoff in the new musical Greenwood at NYMF, also chats about censored You Tube clips, dream roles and why she can’t lie about her age. It’s an action-packed Show People, so click on and enjoy!
