With every show sold out, this well-attended industry showcase with its upbeat plot and flambouyant characters is what has made Annie one of the most beloved musicals in history.
Annie is a Broadway musical based upon the popular Harold Gray comic strip Little Orphan Annie, with music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin, and the book by Thomas Meehan. The musical ran for nearly six years on Broadway, setting a record for the Alvin Theatre. It spawned numerous productions in many countries, as well as national tours, and won the Tony Award for Best Musical. The musical's songs "Tomorrow", "Maybe" and "It's the Hard Knock Life" are its most popular musical pieces.
The show is planned to return to Broadway.
