When Bernadette left did they have another actress play Annie or was that when the show closed?

Several actresses played the role after Bernadette left the show and I saw them all. First there was Cheryl Ladd. She had a pleasant of enough voice, better than I expected but her acting skills and stage presence were not overwhelming. Next was Reba McIntyre. She was the most successful of the replacements and even garnered, some would say, more favorable reviews than Bernadette. While I do agree she was the best of the replacements and had the most stage presence, I found her acting to be very amateurish. She made no connection to the character, she was just playing herself. She was only able to play the role for about 6 months but did very good business while she was in it - very comparable to the ticket sales of Bernadette. After Reba came Crystal Bernard. She was by far the worst. I went to see Crystal and Tom Wopat (who returned to the role when Crystal took over Annie). Tom was out that night and I left at intermission. The show stayed open almost exactly 1 year after Bernadette left.

when i rented Annie Get Your Gun on DVD Susan Lucci did a beginning intro... i just couldn't wait for her to shut up. i definitely cannot see her in that role.

I believe it is the movie from the 50s.

The 1950 movie with Betty Hutton and Howard Keel. The best thing about that video/DVD is that they include the footage that Judy Garland shot as Annie before M-G-M fired her from the movie and the studio. She's kind of a wreck, but the performance looks intriguing. I still remember Michael Musto saying she looked like a crack addict with a Joan Of Arc haircut.
