Annie

Some little girls daydream about ponies, and others about princesses. Some want to be champion swimmers and others prima ballerinas. But the only thing Annie wants is a family of her own. Inspired by an enduring, Depression-era comic strip, Annie is a scrappy, red-headed orphan trying to find a place to belong. Help comes from an unexpected corner in the form of the wealthy Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks, who takes in an orphan in hopes of adding a luster of philanthropy to his already impressive reputation. When he learns that the young girl (accompanied by her adorable dog, Sandy) still dreams of finding her original parents, he offers a sizable reward—and that’s when the vultures start to flock. But in the sunny world of Annie, good news—and tomorrow—are always only a day a way.

Winner of six Tony awards in 1977, including Best Musical and Best Score (written by the inimitable Charles Strouse), Annie became almost an instant classic, helped in no small part by the Carol Burnett–starring film version, in which the legendary comedienne tackled the role of the orphanage warden Miss Hannigan. It’s since gone through many tours, two Tony-nominated Broadway revivals, and become embedded in pop culture—perhaps most unexpectedly by Jay-Z.
