Leapin’ Lizards! Based on the popular comic strip and adapted from the Tony Award-winning Best Musical, The New Albany Middle School Theatre Department will perform Annie Jr., April 11-13, 2025 at the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts.
With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone’s hearts, despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930’s New York City. She is determined to find her parents, who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of an orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. Annie dreams of being reunited with her parents and escapes the orphanage to try and find them. Annie discovers a new family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy. With a beloved book and score by Tony Award-winners Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, Annie Jr. delivers the classic story for all ages that will leave you grinning from ear to ear.
