Annie, a young orphan living in New York City during the Great Depression, dreams of a better life beyond the walls of the miserable orphanage she’s grown up in. When Grace Farrell, secretary to billionaire Oliver Warbucks, comes to the Hudson Street Orphanage to adopt a boy for her employer, Annie charms her into adopting her instead. Soon she and her dog Sandy are off to the Warbucks’ mansion to learn about the good life, but Annie has just as much to teach the stubborn capitalist. Featuring a large ensemble cast of Hollywood and Broadway greats, including Albert Finney, Carol Burnett, Tim Curry, and Bernadette Peters; as well as memorable musical numbers like “Tomorrow,” “It’s a Hard Knock Life,” “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile,” and the fitting “Let’s Go to the Movies.”
