Meriden presents ‘Annie the Musical’
Meriden School presents the much-loved classic musical, Annie! Based on Little Orphan Annie, the popular comic strip by Harold Gray, Annie has become a worldwide sensation. Winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, the beloved show features a wonderful score written by Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, including the Broadway smash hit, “Tomorrow”.
With equal measures of pluck and positivity, Annie charms everyone's hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. She is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage that is run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. When she is invited to stay with the billionaire Oliver Warbucks and his assistant Grace Farrell, Annie meets a new world of people, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt - and spreads her optimism throughout the country!
