The timeless story. The classic characters. The unforgettable songs.
Under the loving direction of three-time Tony Award winner James Lapine, the musical you remember is back on Broadway in a brand-new production you'll never forget. The beloved book and score by Tony Award winners Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin remain the same, with new choreography provided by Tony Award winner Andy Blankenbuehler.
Crawford's not alone in her scene-stealing power. Katie Finneran (Promises, Promises) brings the perfect dose of tragedy to the boozy orphanage matron Miss Hannigan while relishing every second of venom-filled numbers like 'Little Girls.' Set designer David Korins also deserves a bow, depicting the rooms in Oliver Warbucks' (Anthony Warlow) mansion as pages in a storybook and sending up posh urban sites in 'N.Y.C.' This Annie is a love letter to both the city and a musical that's endured for 35 years.
It's the 'Annie' you expect to see — not a song or scene has been changed — but, working with choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler and a vivacious cast, Lapine has created a crisp, colorful, shiny-bright production loaded with theatrical energy. Of course, he had Grade-A material to work with. Every time I see a production of 'Annie,' I'm impressed again with what a really good show it is.
