The &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/yours-anne-original-off-broadway-cast-mw0000258251\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Yours, Anne<\/em>&#8216;<\/a> musical score by Michael Cohen and libretto by Enid Futterman were haunting, making &#8216;<em>Yours, Anne<\/em>&#8216; more akin to an operetta than a musical, with a simple set (in our version) of eight chairs for each of the characters who spent the production in\u00a0the hidden room behind the staircase. We performed the show in churches, museums, synagogues, and it was not unusual for the cast to find ourselves tearing up along with the audience during the final scene. &#8216;<em>Yours, Anne<\/em>&#8216; is a beautiful show with lines of dialogue pulled directly from Anne Frank&#8217;s diary, starting with the opening line of the show, &#8220;<em>Dear Kitty&#8230;I am 13 years old&#8230;&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>Its message of love and hope against the backdrop of hate and hopelessness in 1942 Amsterdam seems as important today as it ever has.
