Description: Leapin' Lizards! The popular comic strip heroine takes centerstage in one of the world's best-loved musicals.

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 cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations, befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and finds a new family and home in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary Grace Farrell and a lovable mutt named Sandy.

Middle Schools and elementary schools should also take notice of ANNIE JR - a special version of this title expressly designed for younger performers.
