Raggedy Ann: The Musical Adventure (aka Rag Dolly) is a dark fantasy musical with a book by William Gibson and music and lyrics by Joe Raposo. It's based on the children's stories by Johnny Gruelle and is loosely related to the 1977 feature film Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure, which included variations of a few songs. The story centers on Marcella, a dying young girl whose toys come to life and take her on a magical adventure to meet The Doll Doctor, in hopes that he can mend her broken heart. The show created a controversy in Albany, it was a renowned sensation in Moscow, a notorious flop on Broadway, and it went on to develop a cult following through bootleg recordings.

Lyrics -
[ANDY]
WHAT'S THAT I HEAR
THE BEAT OF A HEART
THE LID IS OFF AND BOY
I'M READY TO START
IT'S MY TURN NOW
TOODLE-OO TO DUST AND DARKNESS
THE LIGHT'S GONNA SHINE ON ME.
[BABY]
SO THIS IS THE WORLD
OH BOY WHAT A VIEW
IT'S TIME THAT I'VE BEEN BORN
I'M LONG OVERDUE
IT'S MY TURN NOW
I'LL BE EV'-RY-BODY'S BABY
THE LIGHT'S GONNA SHINE ON ME.
[ANN]
NO LYING ROUND IN BED TODAY
THERE'S MUCH TO MUCH TO DO
[ANN, ANDY, BABY]
WE'RE LETTING LOOSE AND ON OUR WAY
[ANN]
LIFE'S WAITING THERE FOR YOU

Me me!
Me
Me and my friends:
Me when I get into random tangents
I LOVE THIS ❤
2:22 GET A LOAD OF THIS MARCELLA
Here's my own little rewrite of the Panda's part:
"A chance for new life! Time to have fun! Now I am eager for whatever shall come! It's my turn now, an opportunity for adventure! The light's gonna shine on me!"
Unlike the animated film and series Marcella knows that the toys can move and talk.
Lyrics

I wonder if the actors are still alive.
most of them are!! in this video specifically, the only actor who has passed away is Jeanne Vigliante (Panda)
i know the person who played ann and andy are! actally ivy Austin(ann) has been in lots of kids media like blues clue's and sesame street!
yes most are! in fact we've talked to both ivy austin (ann) and scott schafer (andy) not too long ago! both very kind people and have fond memories of the show!! :)
The majority of the actors are still here!!
Does anyone know what the girl playing Marcella is doing now?
Me and the gang dancing (we are all gonna be gone by tomorrow)
I like the fact that babe sucks her thumb.
