ANNIE

October 21-26, 2014

Annie opened last evening in Jacksonville, FL to a packed house. Full of young to old that has loved Annie before she walked onto the stage last evening.

Directed by original lyricist Martin Charnin, this new production of ANNIE will be a classic incarnation of the beloved original. Featuring book and score by Tony Award®-winners Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, ANNIE includes such unforgettable songs as “It’s the Hard Knock Life,” “Easy Street,” “I Don’t Need Anything But You,” plus the eternal anthem of optimism, “Tomorrow.”

Florida's own, Issie Swickle plays Annie. Swickle is the young and energetic talents that bounced around on the stage making you believe that the 'sun would come up tomorrow.' Her talents have only started to reveal themselves, but it was such a pleasure to hear such a sweet voice echo through the theater.

Swickle's not alone in her scene-stealing power. Lynn Andrews (Promises, Promises) brings the perfect dose of tragedy to the boozy orphanage matron Miss Hannigan while relishing every second of venom-filled numbers like 'Little Girls.'

Annie is now playing at the Times-Union Center - Moran Theater in Jacksonville, FL.
