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.
If this take seldom crosses the line into something must-see special (it doesn’t), even a simply good production of “Annie” offers rewards.
Hardcore fans may find it lacking in the property’s traditional brash vibrancy, but what makes this revival disarming is that it’s cute without being cutesy and sweet without being saccharine...the heart of the show, as it should be, is Crawford’s Annie. The 11-year-old actress has the vocal chops necessary to sock the songs across, but also the tough pragmatism to command a roomful of heavyweight politicians without coming off as obnoxious...Perhaps the most distinguishing element in this production, however, is Australian musical-theater and opera veteran Warlow’s impressive Broadway debut as Daddy Warbucks...overall, this is a winning presentation of an unapologetically sentimental show that tips its hat to an earlier era in musical theater, before the age of cynicism and industrial spectacle redefined the Broadway model.
