Leapin' Lizards! The popular comic strip heroine Little Orphan Annie takes centerstage in ANNIE JR.,an adaptation of one of the world's best-loved and most-performed musicals.
This oddly romantic comedy with book by Abe Burrows and Jo Swerling and music and lyrics by Frank Loesser is considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, featuring songs like “Luck Be a Lady,” “I’ll Know,” “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat” and “A Bushel and a Peck.” Winner of nine Tony awards, including Best Musical and Best Revival of a Musical and a Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album, GUYS & DOLLS is set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City.
With pluck and positivity, Annie charms everyone she meets despite a next-to-nothing start in the Depression-era New York City of the 1930s.
