ABOUT ANNIE

Winner of seven Tony Awards®, Annie is the heartwarming musical based on the classic comic strip. Set in 1930s New York, it follows the plucky orphan Annie as she escapes the clutches of the wicked Miss Hannigan, wins over billionaire Oliver Warbucks, and sets out to find her long-lost parents. With timeless songs like “Tomorrow,” Annie is a beloved, family-friendly favorite full of hope, humor, and heart.
