German version by Holger Hauer and Jürgen Hartmann (2014) The girl Annie is an orphan searching for her parents in 1933 with her dog Sandy. A coincidence leads her to the house of the wealthy but grumpy businessman Warbucks. He offers a high reward to find Annie's parents, which prompts a clever pair of con artists. Eventually, Annie learns that her parents have long since died. However, her lovable nature has already won the heart of Mr. Warbucks, who now adopts her. Charles Strouse, inspired by the radio hits of the 1930s, created cheerful music that invites humming along. The most famous hit remains the song "Tomorrow". ANNIE is one of the successful musicals based on a comic strip, and it reached 2,377 performances in New York. It received seven Tonys and the New York Critics' Circle Award for Best Musical. In 2014, a new ANNIE film adaptation starring Jamie Foxx and others was released. Please note that this film version differs significantly from the stage version — but the charm of the nostalgic musical is unbeatable! With kind permission from Musik und Bühne Verlag.
