Annie, the classic musical with Music by Charles Strouse, Lyrics by Martin Charnin, and Book by Thomas Meehan will be presented by Sullivan Rep as the fourth and final show in their inaugural season.
Based on the 1924 comic strip created by Harold Gray, the musical follows the adventures of little orphan Annie as she gets adopted by Billionaire Oliver Warbucks for the Christmas holiday. Chosen by secretary Grace Farrell, Annie meets and befriends all the members of the house staff, the people of NYC, and even President Franklin Roosevelt! Working against her are Ms. Hannigan, the matron at the orphanage, her brother Rooster, and his accomplice, Lily St. Regis. With Warbucks, Annie discovers so much of the world she hadn't discovered before, learns the truth about her parents and finally finds herself a home.
Having spent two years on the national and international tour of Annie, Artistic Director Dan Sullivan returns as Director and Choreographer of this production. Musical Direction by Jenny Tsai with Stage Management by Maya Concepción.
Costume Design by Dan Sullivan, Hair & Make Up Design by Bridget Sullivan, Technical Direction by John Sullivan, Assistant Stage Management by Colleen Locke, Lighting Design by Erik Fox, Sound Design by Andrew Mulholland, Intimacy Direction by KRISTIAN ESPIRITU, Dramaturgy by Camille Cuzzupoli, and Properties Design by Rick Grenier.
