@DanielPeterSmith Please have Alison post some videos of her singing as an adult. Or from Kate & Allie.

was this to introduce the new annie?

[broadwaymaniac92]

@bfs7999766 no this was actually as allison smith was preparing to leave the show herself. they just thought it would be cool to have the original and then current one do the trick together.

[bfs7999766]

how is this done, my godness! its amazing

[bfs7999766]

annie gave her a start, and she is good. I always see her as annie

[ChristianKidsShowFan]

Now THAT'S how you pass the baton for an iconic role.

My God! Is Ms.McArdle doing an illusion with Mr.Henning?

[akaTalent]

That was so cool!

[CoolGirl4496]

Does anybody have a video of when Allison Smith was Annie on Broadway? Someone deleted it!

[shooster11]

It's great to see a clip of Doug Henning!!! And Allison Smith as well!!! I was totally in love with her when she was on "Kate & Allie"!!!

[SophieGal09]

No...Alison came out at the end...

[defyingGravity87]

woah, how'd they do that? I love Annie and the song tomorrow. Andrea and Allison are great Annies!

[coolgirl500555]

Did Andrea come out at the end?

[magicaldj1]

no, it was Alison that came out

[coolgirl500555]

I love how Andrea says "I love ya" And i liked how Alision said the first away

[wmcginty]

I´ve been looking for this clip for years, thanks so much for posting it!

Having said that, being 5 when it was shown, I thought the slide made her go back to being a little girl. That really freaked me out (in the best possible way)!

[magicaldj1]

I've been looking for this clip as well, I remember seeing it on T.V. at the time and was amazed. I know how it's done now though, since I do magic.

[genungapearl]

Cool. So, how is it done?

[bfs7999766]

@magicaldj1 how they do this hahahaa its so cool

[gwrash]

andrea and allison were and are both very gifted performers and amazing singers.

[Maryrox321]

this is amazing!

[ExAxLxPx12]

how did they do that!!!??

[coolgirl500555]

Thats wat im wondering! Its soooooo amazing!

[kittykrazy7]

i love them both! they were both great annies and if i had to pick one i simply couldnt!!

[littlebigplanett]

arguably the two best actresses/singers to play the role, ever. Andrea set the bar (and a very high bar it is, she's practically a legend now with an even more amazing voice as an adult) and Allison is the only one I know of who really came close to Andrea. Both of them run rings around today's pre-packaged child star b.s.I know that makes me sound old, LOL.

[awdemers]

i like allison smith better

[coolgirl500555]

Andreas better on my opinnion

[ShaiHuludisCool]

Not as amazing as McArdle.

[ShaiHuludisCool]

How did they do that trick???

[Maryrox321]

Where did you get this video????

[Maryrox321]

They Rock!
