ABOUT ANNIE
Set in New York during the 1930s, ANNIE tells the unforgettable story of little orphan Annie, who dreams of finding the parents who left her as a baby.
Life at Miss Hannigan's orphanage is far from easy, but Annie's optimism and determination never fade. When she is unexpectedly chosen to spend Christmas with billionaire Oliver Warbucks, her world is turned upside down.
With unforgettable songs including “Tomorrow,” “Maybe,” “It's the Hard-Knock Life” and “You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile,” ANNIE is a joyful, funny and heart-warming story about hope, family and believing that tomorrow can be better.
And, of course… you can't have ANNIE without Sandy!
