ANNIE is a heartwarming musical that for generations has reminded audiences that "the sun will come out tomorrow." And now the best-loved musical of all time is set to return in a new production that celebrates family, optimism and the American spirit as the ultimate cure for the hard knocks life throws your way. The original production of ANNIE opened on Broadway on April 21, 1977, and went on to win seven Tony Awards including Best Musical (Charles Strouse), Best Book (Thomas Meehan) and Best Score (Martin Charnin).

"ANNIE is a celebration of family and what can happen when you hold on to hope above all else," said Tony Award-winning composer Charles Strouse. "Chicago audiences have always been so kind to our show, and taken its message to heart, and we're delighted to kick off our new 2024-2025 tour at the iconic Chicago Theatre-arriving with a little ray of sunshine when we all need it most."

ANNIE is directed by Jenn Thompson, who at the age of ten stepped into the role of "Pepper" in the Original Broadway production. ANNIE is choreographed by Patricia Wilcox (Motown, A Night with Janis Joplin), with orchestrations by Dan DeLange. The tour music supervisor is Matthew Smedal and Talitha Fehr is the Music Coordinator. The design team includes scenic design by Wilson Chin (Pass Over), costume design by Alejo Vietti (Jersey Boys), based on lighting design by Philip Rosenberg, sound design by Ken Travis (Disney's Aladdin), hair & wig design by Ashley Rae Callahan and casting by Paul Hardt of Hardt Casting, LLC.
