Annie, the beloved musical starring a redheaded orphan whose optimistic spirit wins the hearts of a wealthy businessman and U. S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Depression era, opens March 14 at the Winspear Opera House. The classic musical will be presented by the AT&T Performing Arts Center as part of their 2023-2024 Broadway at the Center series. Annie runs through March 17 with the final performance a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m..
Holding onto hope when times are tough can take an awful lot of determination, and sometimes, an awful lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package. Little Orphan Annie first won the hearts of Americans as a comic strip heroine, and went on to remind generations of theatergoers that sunshine is always right around the corner. The best-loved musical of all time is set to return in a new production–just as you remember it and just when we need it most.
