Leapin’ Lizards! The musical that stole America’s heart comes home to celebrate its 50th anniversary on the stage where it all began! With pluck and positivity, Annie escapes Miss Hannigan’s orphanage in search of her parents and finds a new family with her lovable mutt Sandy and billionaire Oliver Warbucks. This dazzling new production bursts with joy and timeless songs like “Tomorrow,” “It’s the Hard Knock Life,” and “Maybe.” You can bet your bottom dollar—it’s the can’t-miss event of the season!
Annie features a book by Thomas Meehan, music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Martin Charnin, who also directed the original Broadway production. It is based on “Little Orphan Annie” by permission of Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
Oliver Warbucks will be played by Christopher Swan (Off-Broadway: Little Shop of Horrors). Grace Farrell will be played by Julia Nicole Hunter. Rooster will be played by Rhett Guter (The Goodspeed: Oklahoma!, Bye Bye Birdie). Lily will be played by Kelly Berman (The Goodspeed: South Pacific, Gypsy, The Music Man, Oklahoma!).
