Annie (2015)

The extensive 2015 national touring company of 'Annie' brought the classic, red-and-white Depression-era musical optimism to a new generation of family audiences across North America. Directed by lyricist Martin Charnin with a fresh, colorful set design, the production delivered Charles Strouse and Thomas Meehan’s iconic score—featuring standards like "Tomorrow" and "It's the Hard Knock Life"—with crisp, traditional precision. The narrative tracks a spirited, young orphan girl who escapes the villainous, tyrannical Miss Hannigan when she is selected to spend the Christmas holidays at the opulent Fifth Avenue mansion of billionaire industrialist Oliver Warbucks, capturing a timeless anthem of hope.
