MD: Michael Lavine ANNIE COMPOSER: Charles Strouse LYRICIST: Martin Charnin BOOK: Thomas Meehan SOURCE: Harold Gray’s comic strip Little Orphan Annie (1920s) DIRECTOR: Martin Charnin CHOREOGRAPHER: Peter Gennaro PRINCIPLE CAST: Andrea McArdle (Annie), Dorothy Loudon (Miss Hannigan), Reid Shelton (Warbucks) OPENING DATE: April 21, 1977 CLOSING DATE: Jan 02, 1983 PERFORMANCES: 2,377 SYNOPSIS: Annie is a young orphan who is under the dominating thumb of the orphanage’s owner, the evil Miss Hannigan. When the richest man in the world, Oliver Warbucks, looks to adopt a child, Annie’s life begins to turn around.  Amidst an increasingly concept-oriented Broadway lineup, the traditional book musical with a message about optimism from an orphan girl living through the Great Depression took cynical New York by storm, surprising critics and reminding producers of the possibilities of traditional material. The upbeat score and multiple movie adaptations have kept Annie firmly cemented in American pop culture. More importantly, it welcomed the “children’s show” to Broadway, a musical in which the audience's aim is for children, with enough adult humor integrated to keep all parties engaged. Kirsch examines how subsequent children’s musicals have not fared as well when they deviate from the formula created by Martin Charnin, Charles Strouse, and Thomas Meehan.
