Annie, the Tony Award-winning musical that has brought adventure and optimism to the stage for over 30 years, is set to bring a smile to even more fans with productions scheduled nationwide through 2011. First shown on Broadway in 1976, the show is well-liked for its lovable characters, inspiring story, and timelessly catchy songs.
The show was taken from “Little Orphan Annie,” a comic strip by Harold Gray that first came out in 1924. It told the story of Annie, a young red-haired orphan abandoned by her parents during the Depression era. She is taken in by a New York City orphanage, where she makes her first friends and does her best to behave under the watchful eye of the cruel Miss Hannigan. Searching for her parents, she escapes the orphanage and meets a dog, Sandy, only to be found and brought back. Upon her return, she meets Grace Farrell, who decides to take her to see her boss, kindly businessman Oliver Warbucks. Here she finds a new family and embarks on a series of adventures, including a meeting with President Franklin Roosevelt.
Annie won several Tony awards for its 1977 run, including Best Musical, Best Choreography, Best Original Score, Best Scenic Design, and Best Costume Design. Dorothy Loudon won Best Leading Actress in a Musical for her role as Miss Hannigan. Andrea McArdle and Reid Shelton were also nominated for their respective roles as Annie and Oliver Warbucks. The 1997 revival was nominated for Best Revival of a Musical, but did not win.
People may remember Annie most for her red hair and spunky personality, but it’s the songs that give the musical its classic charm. “Tomorrow,” written by Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, is a classic even outside theater circles. Audiences may also remember such hits as “It’s A Hard Knock Life,” “Maybe,” and “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile.”
Annie’s story has inspired more than just the musical, of course. Prior to Broadway, it had been made into a number of films, spawned parodies, and been adapted in theaters around the world. A stage production is currently touring the U.S., with stops scheduled in Raleigh, Schenectady, Panama City, Dayton, New Haven, Columbus, Ashland, Philadephia, Modesto, Seattle, Grand Forks, Yakima, Costa Mesa, and Chicago.
This year’s production is taken from the original work by Charnin. Annie is Charnin’s best-known project, but he has also worked on such titles as A Little Family Business and Robin Hood: The Legend Continues. The 2010 cast includes Madison Kerth as Annie, Mackenzie Aladjem as Annie’s friend Molly, David Barton as Oliver Warbucks, Traci Blair as Grace Farrell, and Lynn Andrews as Miss Hannigan.
Annie will be back on stage in 2012 for a 35th anniversary revival, set to open on Broadway late in the year. Thomas Meehan (Hairspray, The Producers), who wrote the book for the original Broadway run, has been tapped to revise the production. A new team is also said to be working on an updated script and modern dialogue.
