Plot
Babak 1
In 1933, the eleven-year-old Annie was at the Girls' Home Orphanage, along with Molly (age 6), Kate (age 7), Tessie (age 10), Pepper (age 12), July and Duffy (both 13). When Molly awakens from a nightmare, Pepper and Duffy's anger, July tells them to be quiet and ends up fighting with Pepper. Annie wakes up and tells everyone to go back to sleep. Molly then asks if Annie can read her notes when her parents leave her in an orphanage. Duffy and Pepper were annoyed again. Along with Kate, Pepper and Duffy imitate acting Annie as if they were her parents ("Maybe").
Annie decides to run away to find her parents, but is captured by Miss Hannigan, who is currently suffering from a hangover. She got angry with this and forced all the girls to vigorously clean up the orphanage ("Hard Knock Life") before the day they worked on a sewing sweatshop for a clothing manufacturing company (from which Miss Hannigan pocketed the proceeds). Shortly after that, Mr. Bundles, the laundry attendant, came to collect the blanket. While Miss Hannigan teased, Annie climbed into the laundry basket and the orphans wrapped him in a blanket. After Miss Hannigan realized that she had gone, other orphans expressed their disappointment ("Hard Knock Life (Reprise)").
Annie got away, ran to a friendly wild dog. When he comforts her, she tells him about a better day yet to come ("Tomorrow"). The dog catcher chases her, so she pretends the dog is hers by calling her Sandy. Although initially unsuccessful, he assured the dog catcher, and he continued. He later found Hooverville, where people lost their homes due to the Great Depression has come together as a community {"We Want Thank You"). However, a policeman named Lt. Ward, sent by Miss Hannigan, arrested Annie and brought her back.
Grace Farrell, assistant billionaire Oliver Warbucks, came to the orphanage asking an orphan to come to her mansion for the Christmas break. Since Annie was in Miss Hannigan's office, Grace asked to take her, and Miss Hannigan reluctantly agreed. As soon as he leaves, Miss Hannigan explodes with her hatred for all the girls in the orphanage ("Little Girl").
Meanwhile, at the Warbucks Mansion, the staff welcome Annie with open arms ("I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here"). When Oliver Warbucks returns, he does not like having an orphan at home. He asks Grace to take Annie to the cinema, but she persuades her to come too. When she and Annie started to like each other, they enjoyed a great evening in New York City ("N.Y.C.").
Back at the orphanage, Miss Hannigan's brother, Rooster, and his girlfriend, Lily, visit. Miss Hannigan mentioned that Annie lives in a billionaire's house, and they think they can use this situation to their advantage, even though they do not know how to do it yet ("Easy Way").
Warbucks sees the pendant on Annie's neck, and buys her a new one from Tiffany & amp; Co She argues taking him "under his wings", because he does not know much about the children, but he realizes that he loves her and gives her the locket ("Why Should I Change A Thing?"). However, she cries, saying it is the only thing left by her parents, and refuses to accept a new one. Grace and staff then promise to find her parents no matter what is needed ("You will not be an orphan for a long time").
Round 2
Annie appeared on the radio on show by Bert Healy ("Maybe" reprise) where Warbucks announced that she was offering $ 50,000 to a couple who could prove that they were her parents. Healy then sang the song with Sister Boylan ("You Never Dressed Absolutely Without a Smile"). Back at the orphanage the girls were listening to the song. Everyone was fascinated that their friend was on the radio, except Pepper; who does not care. ("You Have Never Dressed Full Without a Smile"). When Miss Hannigan heard, she barged in and demanded to know what was going on. Molly announced that Annie was on the radio, and that there was a $ 50,000 reward for her parents. Miss Hannigan was not at all happy. Shortly after, a couple named Ralph and Shirley Mudge arrived, saying they left a little girl here eleven years ago and had returned for him. Miss Hannigan was startled. They soon reveal themselves to Rooster and Lily; they explain their plan to get a reward. They asked for information about Annie from Miss Hannigan for a third of the money, even though she asked half for the service, and she told them about the note and the pendant (reprise "The Easy Way").
Warbucks takes Annie to Washington, D.C., where she asks to meet the president. Warbucks thought it would be better if Annie waited outside, but Franklin D. Roosevelt asked her to stay. She started singing "Tomorrow", though told by the cabinet. Roosevelt, however, believes that people should be optimistic during tough times, and instruct them to sing ("Tomorrow" Reprise the Cabinet). Upon returning home, Warbucks tells Annie how much she loves him ("Something Was Missing"). Since her parents have not appeared, she announces she wants to adopt him ("I Do not Need Anything But You"). They decided to have a Christmas party, and Annie wanted to invite Miss Hannigan and the orphans. While preparing, the staff are happy to tell how his arrival has changed their lives ("Annie").
Judge Louis Brandeis appeared to start the adoption process, but was disturbed by Mr. and Mrs. Mudge (Rooster and Lily in disguise) who come to pick up Annie. Grace and Warbucks were shocked, because they knew about the notes and the pendant. However, Warbucks did not think they were his biological parents. She requested that she be allowed to stay one more night for a Christmas party, and then they could take her to their piggy ranch in New Jersey. That morning, he hopes he can be adopted, not sent with his "parent" ("Maybe" reprise). Warbucks then received a surprise visit from Roosevelt and his Secret Service. It was revealed by her that Annie's parents were actually David and Margaret Bennett, who died when she was a baby. They then realized that Mr. and Mrs. Mudge is really Rooster and Lily, just as they appear to claim themselves and money. They, along with Miss Hannigan, are captured by the Secret Service, and everyone is happy with Roosevelt's new deal for the economy ("The New Deal for Christmas"/"Tomorrow" final).

Production history
The New York Times estimates that Annie is produced 700 to 900 times each year in the United States.
Conceptualization
Charnin first approached Meehan to write a Little Orphan Annie music book in 1972. Meehan researched by rereading comic strip prints, but could find no satisfactory material for music other than the characters Annie, Oliver Warbucks and Sandy , so decided to write his own story. Because the three Meehans, Charnin and Strouse were from New York and recalled what he saw as the bleak mood of the current Nixon era and the Vietnam War, Meehan arranged his story in New York during the equally bleak Depression. Meehan saw Annie's character as a twentieth-century American female version of an orphaned orphan character made by Charles Dickens in works like Oliver Twist and David Copperfield with the mystery of Annie. neglect and unidentified parents aligned with a series of mysteries in the Dickens story. Meehan's book was received by Charnin and Strouse, but much of the material had to be trimmed - the material that Meehan would later return for his novelist.
Pre-Broadway tryout
Annie held its world premiere on August 10, 1976 at the Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam, Connecticut under the direction of Michael P. Price, Executive Director. Christian Vigard was the first actress to play the title role. However, the producers immediately decided that Vigard's really sweet interpretation was not difficult enough for the smart street boy. After a week of performances, Vigard was replaced by Andrea McArdle, who played one of the other orphans, Pepper. Vigard went on to become a replacement for Broadway McArdle.

Producers claim that ads, created during previous production, are too expensive to reshoot. Carter felt that racism played a role in the decision. "Maybe they do not want the audience to know that Nell Carter is black," he told the New York Post. However, the ad mentioned that Carter was on the show. "It hurts," Carter told the Post, "I've asked them well to stop it - it's insulting me as a black woman." Then the report stated that Annie's Nell Carter of Broadway's denied Thursday that she called the producer a racist event because they chose to broadcast an ad featuring Miss Hannigan earlier - a white one - not her. " His statement, released by Associated Press, reads: "Yes, it is true that me and my deputy have gone to management on more than one occasion about the commercial and are told there is nothing they can do about it, "Carter said in a statement Thursday. 'Therefore, I have resigned to the fact that this is the way it is.' The statement was also aimed at allegations of racism, which was first published in the New York Post Thursday. Carter is black. "I, Nell Carter, have never, ever, ever accused my producer or anyone in a racism show," he said. said it was too expensive to film a new ad.

Novelisations
Thomas Meehan
In 1980, Macmillan Books published a Meehan novel for the script, then reprinted by Puffin Books in 2014. Some of the lyrics of the songs of the show were adapted into dialogue and monologue for novelization, at least Tomorrow whose main lyrics are portrayed as Annie's personal motto. Meehan used the novel to restore the material that was cut from the original storyline and develop the Annie story into its original concept of what he regarded as the twentieth-century American version of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist , even with a woman than orphaned men as protagonists.
This novel is becoming more depth on the background of many characters and especially about the difficulties at the orphanage, where the brutal beatings and the emotional abuse of Miss Hannigan are everyday events. Unlike the description of Miss Hannigan's high camp in most musical productions, her novelist - in the original Dickens novel tradition of Oliver Twist-emphatically describes her as a really evil and wicked criminal - the skinny face faced women with short, dark black hair (reminiscent of very orphaned orphans) - and all too real - Halloween wizards ".
Greater emphasis is placed on the sheer saturation and illegality of orphaned sewing workers in orphanages. However, while in orphaned children's music were not enrolled in school until the last scene, in their novelization attended a public school, PS62, where they suffered the arrogance of teachers and harassment of non-orphaned students, especially from a spoiled rich girl named Myrtle Vandenmeer. Rooster's official name, Lily St Regis, is given in the book as Muriel Jane Gumper.
In the novel, Annie spent several months on the run from an orphanage, initially spending the winter as a resident staff at Batchby's Beanery, a low-end cafe run by Fred and Gert Bixby's couple, before running away after she found Sandy. He then spent several months living in Hooverville with Sophie and Apple Sellers (who were named as G. Randall "Randy" Whitworth Jr., former poor stock broker by Depression) who, in the novelization, were mature characters and couples. It is revealed in the end that Randy, Sophie and all the other Hoovervillites have been released from prison and given work and home by Warbucks as gratitude for taking care of Annie. Also reappearing at the end of the book is Sandy, who was previously written out of a book while escaping police during a raid in Hooverville, which happened to be traced by an agent from Pinkerton hired by Warbucks.
