In The Wings Productions, under the leadership of Artistic Director Tanya Glassman and Executive Producer Adam Glassman, are proud to present the award-winning family favorite Annie, on the Snug Harbor Music Hall stage from November 30 through December 9, 2018.
The Tony Award-winning musical Annie is based on the popular Harold Gray comic strip "Little Orphan Annie." Annie features a book by Thomas Meehan, music by Charles Strouse, and lyrics by Martin Charnin.
Annie is directed and music directed by ITW alum Michael Pinto, with choreography by Geralyn Whelan.
"I'm thrilled to be directing and musically directing, Annie, one of my favorite musicals," said Michael Pinto. "Annie has such a wonderful, optimistic message that I think resonates even more than when it premieres over 40 years ago. And against the backdrop of Christmas, it's going to be a very special show. We've had such fun in rehearsals that last few week, I can't wait for audiences to enjoy the finished product."
America's most beloved little redhead is back in a delightful musical for the entire family. Annie is 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 comically conniving Miss Hannigan. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan's evil schemes, befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and finds a new family and home in billionaire Oliver Warbucks along with her lovable mutt named Sandy. Bet your bottom dollar, Annie will delight the child in us all.
