Meanwhile, spiteful Miss Hannigan has other ideas and hatches a plan to spoil Annie’s search…

With the help from her friends at the Municipal Girls Orphanage, Grace Ferrell (PA to “Daddy Warbucks”), Punjab and of course Sandy the dog, Annie sets off on an action-packed, heart-warming and nail-biting adventure in her quest for true love: The family she has always dreamed about.

With its Tony® award-winning book and score, including the unforgettable songs It’s The Hard-Knock LifeEasy Street, I Don’t Need Anything But You and Tomorrow, you can bet your bottom dollar that you’ll love it!
