Summary
"I didn't want to be just another orphan, Mr. Warbucks. I wanted to believe I was special."
MAY-usical Month 2026 is coming to an end with a movie chosen by our Patreon supporters, ANNIE (1982). This week, The Wives Colangelo are dissecting everyone's favorite red-headed orphan, dissecting the weirdest politics ever to be found in a movie this catchy, and trying to figure out if Miss Hannigan and Rooster are ... special siblings. It's a hard knock life, so let's sing about it!
