Synopsis Annie and Characters
Based on Little Orphan Annie, the popular comic strip by Harold Gray, Annie has become a worldwide
sensation. Winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, the beloved show features a wonderful score
written by Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, including the Broadway smash hit, “Tomorrow”.
With a perfect combination of street-smarts and optimism, Annie warms the hearts of the audience as we
witness her rise from next-to-nothing in New York City. She is determined to find her parents, who left her at
the orphanage years ago. Though things don’t quite work out the way she has planned, she does manage to
thwart the plans of the evil Miss Hannigan and find a new family with billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his
secretary Grace Farrell, and her lovable pooch, Sandy.
