Annie at Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall
Annie is a classic American musical based on Harold Gray's comic strip Little Orphan Annie. With music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin and a book by Thomas Meehan, the story follows an optimistic orphan whose life changes after she is welcomed into the home of billionaire Oliver Warbucks during the Great Depression.
The original Broadway production opened in 1977 and won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Its best-known songs include “Tomorrow,” “It's the Hard Knock Life,” “Maybe” and “Easy Street.” National touring productions have introduced the show to audiences across the country, while casts and staging vary by production. The musical is known for its lively choreography, Depression-era setting and family-friendly story.
