Subscribe FreeAnnie, the musical, is based on Harold Gray’s most famous comic strip (lasted 44-years) Little Orphan Annie, and has a wonderful music score, including the hit “Tomorrow” and some great dance scenes. Annie is play-ed by 10-year-old Aileen Quinn and is joined by Albert Finney as Daddy Warbucks and Carol Burnett as Miss Hannigan, the crazed orphanage matron. The storyline has Annie borrowed for a week from the orphanage by a hard-boiled billionaire, who uses the publicity to improve his public image, but before you can say, “leapin lizards,” loses his heart instead to the irrepressible, lovable waif, and so begins a true father/daughter relationship.
