“ANNIE is an elating piece of family theater,” says the New York Times, and the Chicago Tribune says, “This is one of the best family musicals ever penned.”
The original Broadway production of ANNIE won seven 1977 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Book and Score. It ran for 2,377 performances, and has subsequently been produced all over the world. The original production is one of the top 20 longest running shows in Broadway history.
ANNIE, with music by Charles Strouse and book by Thomas Meehan, is again directed by its lyricist, Martin Charnin, who brought the original production of ANNIE to Broadway in 1977.
Boasting one of Broadway’s most memorable scores, including “It’s the Hard-Knock Life,” “Easy Street,” “N.Y.C.” and the ever optimistic “Tomorrow,” you can bet your bottom dollar that ANNIE will bring a smile to your face.
In addition to Charnin, Meehan and Strouse, ANNIE’s creative team includes original Broadway musical staging by Peter Gennaro, choreography by Liza Gennaro, lighting design by Ken Billington, costume design by Theoni Aldridge and sound design by Peter Hylenski.
ANNIE is presented by Jam Theatricals (www.jamtheatricals.com) as part of the 2007-08 Broadway in Corpus Christi at American Bank Center Selena Auditorium Season, sponsored by The Caller Times and KRIS-TV.
