Annie the Musical

An immersive staging returns to Area Stage Company as the classic story of an optimistic orphan is reimagined with a bold, interactive twist.

Annie the Musical runs on select days from December 12–28, bringing audiences into a 1930s New York setting shaped by Artistic Director Giancarlo Rodaz’s signature approach and choreography by Demi Jenkins. The production has earned strong critical praise in South Florida for its inventive format and lively engagement with the audience.

Based on Harold Gray’s classic comic strip, the musical features the Tony Award–winning book and score by Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, including well-known songs such as “Tomorrow,” “It’s a Hard-Knock Life” and “Maybe.” Suitable for all ages, the show offers a fresh holiday-season take on a theater favorite.
