Annie. Based on the popular comic strip, Little Orphan Annie,
by Harold Gray, Annie tells the extraordinary story of a little orphan
who ends up in the lap of luxury with Depression-era billionaire Oliver
Warbucks. Unlike most of the other children at Miss Hannigan's orphanage,
plucky and charming Annie believes that her parents are still alive
and will one day return to claim her. When Mr. Warbucks offers to adopt
her, she asks the most powerful man in America to help find her real
mom and dad instead, and he agrees. Warbucks' whopping reward for Annie's
parents attracts the attention of con artists Rooster, Lily and the
wicked Miss Hannigan, who hatch a plot to kidnap Annie and take the
$50,000 reward. With great songs including the Broadway smash hit, “Tomorrow”,
this show will warm your heart with its perfect combination of street-smarts
