Based on the popular comic strip by Harold Gray, Annie has become a worldwide phenomenon and was the winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The beloved book and score by Tony Award winners, Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, features some of the greatest musical theatre hits ever written, including "Tomorrow." 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. She is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage that is run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan. With the help of the other girls in the Orphanage, Annie escapes to the wondrous world of NYC. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations... and even befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt! She finds a new home and family in billionaire, Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.

But unlike in the musical Annie, where Sandy follows her home after she saves him from the dogcatcher, Nina Takahashi and Sherman began their story in the Beaverton City Hall courtyard over a few bites of hot dog. Creating that heartwarming connection onstage and developing trust between Annie & Sandy would take more than a onetime treat and play session. It would consist of convincing both of them that they belonged together." When Annie Met Sandy Beaverton Resource Guide November 1, 2017 |
