About Annie

Few musicals carry the cultural weight and cross-generational appeal of Annie. Based on the comic strip Little Orphan Annie by Harold Gray, the stage musical made its Broadway debut in 1977 and immediately became a landmark of American theatre. With music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin, and a book by Thomas Meehan, the show delivered one of the most recognizable songs in musical theatre history — "Tomorrow" — and a story of resilience, optimism, and heart that resonates as powerfully today as it did nearly five decades ago.

The show follows the irrepressible young orphan Annie as she navigates life in a New York City orphanage under the iron rule of the cruel Miss Hannigan, before a chance encounter with the billionaire Oliver Warbucks changes her world forever. The story is warmhearted, the music is infectious, and the production demands both technical polish and genuine emotional performance from its cast — a combination that makes every quality staging of Annie a genuine theatrical event.

For Atlanta audiences, a production of Annie at Mable House Barnes Amphitheatre represents exactly the kind of live theatre experience that the metro area's vibrant arts community delivers year after year. Atlanta has long supported world-class theatrical programming, and bringing a classic of this stature to an intimate outdoor venue deepens that tradition.

The venue seats audiences in a tiered, open-air configuration that keeps sightlines clean from virtually every seat in the house.
