THE STORY
Annie Jr. is based on the popular comic strip Little Orphan Annie, which tells the story of a spunky Depression-era orphan determined to find her parents, who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan.  In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan’s evil machinations, befriends President Franklin Roosevelt and finds a new family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary Grace Farrell and a lovable mutt named Sandy.  Its upbeat plot and flamboyant characters have made Annie one of the most beloved musicals in history.
