Annie JR.

Annie JR.
The irrepressible comic strip heroine takes center stage in one of the world's best-loved, award-winning musicals.



Based on the popular comic strip and adapted from the Tony Award-winning Best Musical, with a beloved book and score by Tony Award winners, Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, Annie JR. features everyone’s favorite little redhead in her very first adventure.

With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone's hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. Annie is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of an orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. Annie eventually foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations, finding a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.

With plenty of parts to go around, including featured roles as well as ensemble parts for orphans, servants and tourists, Annie JR. is ideal for productions involving different grade levels.

Licensing More Shows

Hi there,

I was wanting to license Annie Jr however have noticed that when you apply for a license, you must input how many shows you will be performing... At this stage I am unsure whether we will perform 6 or 4 shows as if we have a large audition quantity, we would double cast and perform 6 shows. However if we have only numbers for a singular cast, we would perform 4 shows. Is there a way that I can license for 4 shows and add licensing for another two shows if we do end up double casting?

Thanks, Zac

Licensing to private performances?
Hi, Me and my wife want to create a very special hebrew adaptation of Annie, for 1 actor only. We are looking to expose the play and the music to children who don't have the means or money. We want to perform in Kindergarten in non central areas of the country. Most of the ticket wont be even charged. I tried to apply for licensing, But we are not part of an organisation or a theatre. We are just one actress and a musician :) What should we do, or is there anyone we can email to about it? Thanks! Itai.
