Synopsis:
Annie is a Broadway musical
based upon the popular Harold Gray comic strip Little Orphan Annie, with
music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin, and the book by Thomas
Meehan. The original Broadway production opened in 1977 and ran for nearly
six years, setting a record for the Alvin Theatre (now the Neil Simon
Theatre). It spawned numerous productions in many countries, as well as
national tours, and won the Tony Award for Best Musical. The musical's songs
"Tomorrow" and "It's the Hard-Knock Life" are among its most popular musical
numbers. (Courtesy
