Leapin' Lizards! The irrepressible comic strip heroine takes center stage in one of the world's best-loved musicals.
Based on the popular comic strip by Harold Gray, Annie has become a worldwide phenomenon and was the winner of seven Tony Awards,
including Best Musical.
The beloved book and score features some of the greatest musical theatre hits ever written, including "Tomorrow."
With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone's hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. She 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, Annie escapes to the wondrous world of NYC. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations... and even befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt!
She finds a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace
Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.
Presented with the support of the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners.
ANNIE is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI.) All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
