Lilla Crawford as Annie
WINNER: Congratulations to jenna!
I was nine years old when Annie the movie played in theaters. My parents took me to see it and I fell in love with spunky “Little Orphan Annie” and the timeless story. Shortly after I saw the movie my dad surprised me with an 8-track of the soundtrack and for the next few months, I sang and acted out every song. From that moment on, I wanted to see Annie on Broadway, but never did. So when Annie the Musical opened on Broadway at the Palace Theatre, all my childhood dreams came true.
This revival production of Annie the Musical is a “big-time Broadway musical complete with lavish sets, striking choreography and terrific performances. Directed by Tony winner James Lapine, this revival has a darker and more realistic tone, but the story is still pure joy. Set in New York City around Christmas 1933, the show mixes fictional characters like Annie and Warbucks with real-life historical figures like President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The Tony-winning musical features classic tunes including ‘Tomorrow,’ ‘It’s a Hard Knock Life’ and ‘Easy Street.’”
The New York Times said, “The gleamingly confident Lilla Crawford, who is possessed of both a golden glow and a voice of brass is pretty close to perfect as Annie.”
