The Tony Award-nominated revival production of Annie has announced plans for a national tour produced by Troika Entertainment to launch during the 2014-15 season.
The classic musical based on the Little Orphan Annie comic strip, features a book by Thomas Meehan, music by Charles Strouse, and lyrics by Martin Charnin, all of whom received Tony Awards for their work during the original 1977 production. The revival, which opened at the Palace Theatre on November 8, 2012, stars 11-year-old Lilla Crawford as Annie, Anthony Warlow as Daddy Warbucks, and Jane Lynch (Glee), who recently joined the cast as Miss Hannigan.
