Awards, Reviews & Features
2013 Tony Awards
Nominated for Best Revival of a Musical
2013 Drama Desk Awards
Anthony Warlow, Nominated for Outstanding Actor in a Musical
“While it downplays the comic-strip origins in subtle ways, James Lapine’s production sensibly chooses not to reinvent the 1977 musical, which won seven Tony Awards and ran for close to six years its first time around. Returning to Broadway almost three decades later, this enduring ode to optimism remains a sterling example of expert musical-theater craftsmanship.”
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter (2012)
Explore the PBS Documentary about the Revival production:
“It’s The Hard Knock Life: from Script to Stage”
“Annie, the 1977 show that introduced generations of children to the tuneful optimism of traditional Broadway musicals, opened in a new production on Broadway Nov. 8… The 35th anniversary revival of the tale of a red-headed orphan in the care of a billionaire Republican during the Great Depression is directed by Tony Award winner James Lapine.”
