Holding onto hope when times are tough can take an awful lot of determination, and sometimes, an awful lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package. Little Orphan Annie has reminded generations of theatergoers that sunshine is always right around the corner, and now the best-loved musical of all time is set to return in a new production – just as you remember it and just when we need it most.
ANNIE, directed by Jenn Thompson, features the iconic book and score, written by Tony Award®—winners Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin. This celebration of family, optimism and the American spirit remains the ultimate cure for all the hard knocks life throws your way.
On this tour, Little Orphan Annie is played by Hazel Vogel, an innate talent at only 12 years old. With just the first few notes of “Maybe,” I had full body chills. She completely and totally stole the show. There’s more talent in that girl’s pinky finger than in my entire body.
The 1977 musical delivers its usual charms while director Jenn Thompson keeps the sentimentality in check.
