Book by Thomas Meehan Music by Charles Strouse Lyrics by Martin Charnin It’s 1933 and Christmas in New York. Although the whole nation may be suffering from an economic downturn, one plucky little girl knows that one day soon everything is going to turn out just fine. And that day might just be Tomorrow. With the help of her friends at the orphanage Annie escapes the clutches of Miss Hannigan and sets off out to find her parents. Her infectious nature soon finds her with a new best friend, an offer of adoption from billionaire Mr Warbucks, and even a meeting with President FD Roosevelt himself. But once Annie hits the news, Miss Hannigan and her scheming brother, Rooster, are soon back on her trail! A brand new production from the creators of last year’s spectacular A Christmas Carol, Annie is a non-stop snowball fight of little girls, comic book characters and spectacular songs including It’s A Hard Knock Life, Easy Street and, most famously, Tomorrow. Suitable for ages 7+
