A Message to Michelle


First of all, Michelle, you are NEVER fully dressed.


You are pretty ugly.

Even when and if you smile




[TESSIE]
[spoken] So, for all of the "Hours of Smiles" Family, 
this is Bert Healy saying... 
[singing] Hey hobo man, 
Hey Dapper Dan, 
You've both got your style 

[ALL ORPHANS]
But brother, you're never fully dressed 
Without a smile 
Your clothes may be Beau Brummelly 
They stand out a mile 
But brother you're never fully dressed 
Without a smile 

[JULY]
[spoken] Who cares what they're wearing 
on Main Street of Saville Row 
It's what you wear from ear to ear 
And not from head to toe. 

[MOLLY]
That matters 

[TESSIE]
[spoken] Ah. the lovely Boylan Sisters. 

[DUFFY, KATE AND PEPPER]
Doo doodle-oo doo 
Doo doodle-oo doo 
Doo doo doo doo 
Doo doo doo 

[ALL ORPHANS]
Who cares what they're wearing on Main Street 
or Saville Row 
It's what you wear from ear to ear 
And not from head to toe that matters 
So, Senator, so, janitor 
So long for a while 
Remember you're never fully dressed 
Though you may wear the best 
You're never fully dressed without a 
Smile 
Smile 
Smile!!! 
Smile darn ya, smile.

First of all, I used to hate hearing "Tomorrow" by the violinists at brunch in the Hyatt in Milwaukee.

Then...I worked the show, as costume assistant to Mr. Rhodes Reason, who was playing 'Daddy Warbucks' with the First Tour.

And I found those children to be especially adorable, even when the 'Annie' peed during the curtain calls.
