“SHARON, Conn.—”Annie,” the tale of a plucky orphan, her dog, Sandy, and benefactor, Daddy Warbucks, will open at Sharon Playhouse Saturday, July 26, and continue through Sunday, Aug. 10.
The opening weekend will feature a new schedule, offering two 2 p.m. matinees and two 7 p.m. evening performances.
The musical tells the story of a brave, red-haired, orphan who dares to dream big in the face of adversity.
It is the classic, feel-good musical about a little girl who finds her place in the world during the Great Depression, her optimism leading her on a journey from the bleak walls of Miss Hannigan’s orphanage to the luxurious home of billionaire Daddy Warbucks, where she proves that even the toughest times can be overcome with hope, love, and a song.
The production features songs such as “Tomorrow,” “It’s a Hard Knock Life,” and “Maybe” and is suitable for all ages.
Music is by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin, and book by Thomas Meehan. The production is directed by Carl Andress, with choreography by Krystyna Resavy, and music direction by Eric Thomas Johnson.
Tickets can be purchased here.
