Why see Annie?
You're never fully dressed without a smile!
Leapin' lizards... Annie is going on tour! Annie is a delightful theatrical experience for the entire family. Don't miss this Tony-winning Broadway production of the timeless family tale of Little Orphan Annie as it heads on its tour across the country. Directed by Jenn Thompson who starred in the original Broadway production as 'Pepper'! Just when we need it most, Annie returns to remind us that sunshine is always right around the corner.
Since its Broadway premiere in 1977, Annie has delighted audiences worldwide and it's a particular favorite of children who love Annie's cheeky demeanor and her bubbly outlook.
From rags to riches...
It's a hard knock life for Annie and the other orphans of Depression Era New York City, under the patronage of the wretched and scheming Miss Hannigan at the Hudson Street Orphanage. One day, Annie's life is changed forever when Grace, the beautiful assistant of the enigmatic millionaire Oscar (Daddy) Warbucks comes to ask for an orphan to stay at his mansion for the Christmas holidays.
This begins a wild and mad-cap adventure where Annie's bright and shining personality wins over the crochety business and teaches him the meaning of love, life and looking on the bright side.
Did you know?
Way before Broadway, Annie made her debut in the comic strip, 'Little Orphan Annie,' by Harold Gray in 1924!

Loved it
We went to the evening show last night. I took
my 4 year old and 7 year old. This rendition of
Annie was PHENOMENAL. Annie’s voice was on
point. If I closed my eyes it was like I was
watching the movie. Daddy Warbucks stoke my
heart, he was AMAZING. My kids actually sat
still and sang alone with the songs. I love that
this was a local production and would highly
recommend it. Very friendly staff also. Kudos
to the cast and crew for putting on such a
fabulous show. ... Read more

Matinee Annie Lillian Hochman.
This little girl’s voice packs a punch! I highly
recommend the local talent of this powerful
vocalist. Our Orchestra Left seats were perfect.
The orchestra overpowered the voices a few
times, but I saw the very first matinee show
and I’m sure there are still some tweaks being
worked out. The dog is a little naughty (barked
a few times) but Lillian handles the dog
behavior like a pro. The cast is really talented
overall, but Lillian’s performance is emotional
and sweet and while her talent exceeds her
youth, as a youngster performer her acting as
Annie really endearing. Not to be missed! ... Read more

Great show
I took my 6 year old to the Wednesday night showing and it was a great performance! Annie was spot on. Many powerful voices!
We have noticed with the last several shows at the Orpheum that the sound crews have been off their game. We spent a lot of time wondering if it's the facility that needs upgrading, or if it's road crews that have a hard time adjusting to our theater acoustics. ... Read more
