Annie Warbucks Wiki Information
Annie Warbucks
is a musical with a book by Thomas Meehan, music by Charles Strouse, and lyrics by Martin Charnin.
A sequel to the 1977 Tony Award-winning hit Annie
, it begins immediately after Annie
ended, on Christmas morning in 1933, when Child Welfare Commissioner Harriet Doyle (replacing the original's Miss Hannigan as the villain of the piece) arrives on the scene to inform Daddy Warbucks he must marry within sixty days or else the child will be returned to the orphanage. Daddy Warbucks' whirlwind search for a fitting bride uncovers not only a plot by Doyle and her daughter Sheila Kelly to strip him of his fortune, but also his true feelings for his long-time assistant, Grace Farrell. A gaggle of cute little girls seeking parents and President Franklin D. Roosevelt return to take part in the shenanigans.
Developed in a workshop at the Goodspeed Opera House, the off-Broadway production, directed by Charnin and choreographed by Peter Gennaro, opened after numerous delays on August 9, 1993 at the Variety Arts Theatre, where it ran for 200 performances. The cast included Harve Presnell as Warbucks, Donna McKechnie as Sheila Kelly, and Kathryn Zaremba in the title role.
Despite a strongly positive review from the New York Times, the show — unlike its predecessor, which ran for 2377 performances — failed to attract an audience, although it has become a popular choice for high school, community theatre, and summer stock productions.
Annie Warbucks
was the second attempt at an Annie
sequel. The first, entitled Annie 2: Miss Hannigan's Revenge
, opened on December 22, 1989 at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. to universally dismal reviews. Extensive efforts to get it into shape for a Broadway opening failed, and the project was abandoned.
