The 7 time Tony-winning musical about the plucky little orphan Annie has charmed itself into everyone’s heart the world-over.

This timeless musical, featuring some of the greatest Broadway hits (“Tomorrow”, “Hard Knock Life”) was based on Harold Gray’s popular 1920s comic strip Little Orphan Annie. A half-century later, intended as a Christmas gift for a friend, lyricist Martin Charnin stumbles upon a coffee table book of "Little Orphan Annie" strips and falls in love. The rest is musical theatre history.

From the haphazard orphanage to the Warbucks’ mansion, our projections take cues from the period – our illustrators utilized a painterly style that harkens back to classic Broadway theatre, but keeps us firmly in the present with cinematic transitions and subtle ambient animations. This illustration and animation style is intended to place more emphasis on the actors and focus on great storytelling. 

Young performers are essential in this show with all of the orphans, from little Molly to bossy Pepper. That's why Music Theatre International (MTI) developed two adaptations of Annie tailored for large casts of young performers. Annie JR is a one-act, 60 minute adaptation, and Annie KIDS is a one-act 30 minute adaptation. 

There's no "hard knock life" with projections, however. Check out our digital projection packages for both Annie JR and Annie KIDS

MTI also offers pre-approved rental materials of select songs for a concert-style performance. You can use our projection rentals for the backdrop of your performance to immerse audiences in the setting and story of each number!

In addition to digital projection rentals for Annie, Broadway Media also offers Choreography Guides to create dance and movement for all of its the show-stopping numbers, including "Hard Knock Life," "I Think I'm Gonna Like it Here," "NYC," and more.

These videos are taught by Broadway choreographer Liza Gennaro (daughter of Peter Gennaro, the Tony Award-winning choreographer for the original Broadway production!)

As with all of our Choreography Guides, these instructional videos are designed as a flexible toolbox, allowing you to adapt and customize steps to suit your production. Use what works best for you and your cast to showcase your performers and create your own unique version of the choreography.
