All About Theatre's Production of "Annie Jr."

All About Theatre (AAT) is thrilled to present Annie Jr. at the Soquel Foursquare Theater this July! AAT’s uniquely talented cast of characters, aged 4-9, will perform a heartwarming rendition of Annie Jr.

Leapin’ Lizards! The popular comic strip heroine Little Orphan Annie takes center stage in Annie Jr., an adaptation of one of the world’s best-loved and most-performed musicals. It’s upbeat plot and flamboyant characters have made Annie one of the most beloved musicals in history -- what girl hasn’t dreamed of performing the title role or playing the outrageous Miss Hannigan? The bright, tuneful score is easy to sing and filled with familiar numbers.

With pluck and positivity, Annie charms everyone she meets despite a next-to-nothing start in the Depression-era New York City of the 1930s. She is determined to find her parents, who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of an orphanage run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan.

When billionaire Oliver Warbucks decides to invite an orphan to his mansion for Christmas, Annie gets her chance to experience NYC anew outside the confines of the orphanage. Despite Miss Hannigan’s evil machinations, Annie befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and finds a new home alongside Warbucks, his personal secretary Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.

This big, bold, glitzy musical celebrates the stuff that dreams are made of as well as the dreams of performers everywhere. Based on the Tribune Media Service Comic Strip, Little Orphan Annie, with a book by Thomas Meehan, music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Martin Charnin, the memorable score includes Maybe, Hard-Knock Life, Tomorrow, Little Girls, I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here, N.Y.C., Easy Street, You Won’t Be An Orphan For Long, You’re Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile, and I Don’t Need Anything But You.
