‘Annie’ finds a home April 26 at CCA

Annie, Sandy and Daddy Warbucks are back for this new incarnation of the original “Annie” to be performed at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 26, at the Collins Center for the Arts.

The smash Tony Award-winning production about a spirited red-haired orphan’s search for a loving home is directed by original lyricist and director Martin Charnin and is choreographed by Liza Gennaro.

“Annie” is based on Harold Gray’s popular 1920s comic strip “Little Orphan Annie.” The musical includes favorite songs “It’s the Hard Knock Life,” “Easy Street,” “I Don’t Need Anything But You,” and an anthem of optimism — “Tomorrow.”

The Chicago Tribune calls the show “one of the best family musicals ever penned.” And The Hollywood Reporter writes, “This enduring ode to optimism remains a sterling example of expert musical-theater craftsmanship.
