Photo Flash: Go Behind the Scenes with ANNIE Set Designs at Westchester Broadway Theatre

Annie, one of the world's best-loved musicals, is set in 1933 in New York City during the Great Depression. Little Orphan Annie is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage that is run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan. With the help of the other girls in the Orphanage, she escapes to the wondrous world of NYC where she finds a new home and family in billionaire, Oliver Warbucks, his secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy. Notable musical numbers include "It's the Hard Knock Life," "Easy Street," "I Don't Need Anything But You," and "Tomorrow."

Peyton Fishman (Irvington) and Kaylin Hedges (Valley Cottage) star as Annie in alternating performances. Michael DeVries is Daddy Warbucks, the billionaire business man. You may remember him in Wicked andHello, Dolly, on Broadway. Susann Fletcher is Miss Hannigan, the cold-hearted orphanage owner. She starred as Louise Seger in WBT's production of Always...Patsy Cline. Warbucks' secretary and love-interest, Grace, is portrayed by Celeste Hudson who was seen in Show Boat at WBT. Miss Hannigan's con-artist brother, Rooster, is played by Adam Roberts, who appeared on Broadway in Pippin and Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark. The role of Lily, Rooster's petty-thieving girlfriend, is played by Aubrey Sinn who starred as Maria in our production of The Sound of Music. John-Charles Kelly plays President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
