In an interview with People, Goldberg opened up about how she feels a bit “rusty” after such a long time away from the stage. “I’m rusty, trust me. I won’t be as rusty when you see me, but the old bones are creaking as I move,” she joked. However, she added that she is having a lot of fun with the character, who is known for being tough and mischievous.
Annie is one of the most loved musicals, telling the story of a young orphan girl who meets a rich man named Oliver Warbucks. The role of Miss Hannigan, the orphanage matron, has been played by several stars over the years, including Carol Burnett and Kathy Bates.
