“Tomorrow,” “It’s a Hard Knock Life,” “Easy Street,” and “Little Girls” are just a few of the great musical numbers in this most beloved of family musicals. Depression-era Little Orphan Annie searches for her parents with her trusty dog, Sandy, and comes under the care of billionaire Daddy Warbucks. Throw in a scheming Miss Hannigan, lots of adorable orphans, and FDR himself, and you get one of the best history lessons ever set to music.
Annie is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
