Annie

This classic musical tells the story of a young orphan girl named Annie who lives in a dilapidated orphanage run by the ill-tempered, often inebriated Miss Hannigan in New York City during the Depression. Annie dreams of what life “Maybe” like outside the orphanage with two parents who love her. When Annie is chosen to spend the Christmas holidays with the wealthy industrialist Oliver Warbucks, Miss Hannigan is infuriated that Annie will be spending the holidays in the lap of luxury. Warbucks is charmed by Annie’s spunk and good spirits and is eager to adopt her, but Annie is convinced that one day her real parents will come back to claim her. Warbucks loves her enough to offer a fifty thousand dollar reward in the search for her parents. That’s when Miss Hannigan’s con-artist brother Rooster and his floozy girlfriend Lily concoct a scheme to get to “Easy Street” by posing as Annie’s long lost parents. Along the way, Annie meets a lot of interesting characters including a mutt named Sandy and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt himself.
