The seven-time Tony Award-winning musical Annie features some of Broadway's most iconic anthems, including the climactic "Tomorrow," along with a show-stopping lineup of emerging young performers and an enduring message about the bonds we forge in the most unexpected places.
Against the backdrop of New York City in the throes of the Great Depression, the story begins in the Hudson Street Orphanage, where Annie and dozens of other young girls buckle under the weight of verbal abuse from the foul-tempered overseer Miss Hannigan. After capturing the heart of local billionaire Oliver Warbucks, the love Annie has always dreamed of is well within her reach, but complications arise as she struggles to let go of the idea that her birth parents might still be out there and willing to take her back.
Having spawned three film adaptations and nearly 2,500 live performances across the globe since its debut in 1977, Annie remains consistently relevant by reminding us that every hard knock in life is tinged with hope — if only we search hard enough.
