Annie Live! is on its way to a TV near you and what better way than to usher in this new remake of a classic than to interview some of the insanely talented cast!

Burgess shared his first experience with the Annie musical (featuring Carol Burnett as Miss Hannigan), what it was like lending his musical talents to the role of Rooster, what iconic movie he would like see get its own musical and much more.
