New York City
ANNIE is a heartwarming musical that for generations has reminded audiences that “the sun will come out tomorrow.” And now the best-loved musical of all time is set to return in a new production that celebrates family, optimism and the American spirit as the ultimate cure for the hard knocks life throws your way. The original production of ANNIE opened on Broadway on April 21, 1977 and went on to win seven Tony Awards including Best Musical (Charles Strouse), Best Book (Thomas Meehan) and Best Score (Martin Charnin).
“At its heart, ANNIE is a story about hopes and dreams, and also a love letter to NYC,” said the Tony Award-winning composer of ANNIE, Charles Strouse. “So it is a dream come true to bring ANNIE back home for the first time in ten years, just in time for the holidays. And having the iconic Whoopi Goldberg join the company and make her first appearance ever in a production of ANNIE is a gift to us all! I know Martin and Tom would be thrilled, too.”
