Annie the Musical is based on the beloved comic strip and classic films that have captured hearts for generations. With catchy songs, unforgettable characters, and plenty of laughs, this Broadway favorite tells the story of Annie, a spirited orphan determined to find her family, the wealthy Daddy Warbucks, and the hope that tomorrow will be brighter.
Annie is perfectly happy singing in the orphanage… until she’s whisked away to the glamorous—but unfamiliar—world of Daddy Warbucks’ mansion. Along the way, she faces the scheming Miss Hannigan, befriends loyal dogs and friends, and discovers that family isn’t just who you’re born to—it’s who loves you.
Featuring iconic numbers like “It’s a Hard Knock Life”, “N.Y.C.”, and the show-stopping “Tomorrow”, Annie the Musical is a feel-good, laugh-out-loud experience that proves hope, heart, and courage can make any dream come true. Perfect for the whole family!
ANNIE THE MUSICAL Is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance material is also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
