The timeless tale of Little Orphan Annie will be coming to West Point’s Eisenhower Hall Theatre, at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 8. The Chicago Tribune has called “Annie” “One of the best musicals ever.” The original Broadway production of ANNIE won seven 1977 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Book and Score. It ran for 2,377 performances, and has subsequently been produced all over the world.

The musical is directed by its lyricist, Martin Charnin, who brought the original production of “Annie” to Broadway in 1977. Tony Award winning set designer, Ming Cho Lee, has created a fresh look for this new production.
