History Overdosed on Instagram: "In 1982, Allison Smith performed “It’s the Hard Knock Life” from the musical Annie during a television appearance on the British program The Oxford Road Show. At the time, Smith was the longest-running performer in the title role of Annie on Broadway, a part she held for nearly three years. The intensity and fast-paced delivery were part of the song’s original staging, which was intended to depict the orphans’ tough lives. Credit: The Oxford Road Show, 1982"
