Interview: With Raines, The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow!

There’s nothing like New York City at Christmastime. The nip in the air. The famed Rockefeller Center tree. And Ron Raines (Alan, GUIDING LIGHT; Carl, ONE LIFE TO LIVE) starring as Daddy Warbucks in the final few weeks of Annie on Broadway! “I love this show, I love the role, and what greater time to do it than the holidays? It’s all about the holidays!”

Last week, Raines too over the part of the billionaire who adopts the curly-haired redheaded orphan from Australian actor Anthony Warlow, whose contract with the musical had ended. “I was close in the running for being cast as Daddy Warbucks, and I think that’s why they called me,” muses Raines, whose run will end along with the revival’s final performance on Sunday, January 5. “I’m thrilled to be doing it, even though it’s just for one month.”
