Product Information

The story takes place over an entire year instead of just the two weeks portrayed in the final version of the play. It played in Miami from April 12 to May 13, 1978, then continued for a few more cities until it landed in Chicago where it played for 32 weeks. This move was made possible partly because of the early closing of the revival of My Fair Lady, had originally been scheduled to run through the end of that year. Her work has been shortlisted for the Governor General’s Award for Literature and Translation, the Grand Prix du Livre de Montréal, and longlisted for the Prix Albertine. Replacements in the role of Miss Hannigan included Alice Ghostley, Dolores Wilson, Betty Hutton, Marcia Lewis, and June Havoc.

The first national touring company opened in Toronto in March 1978 with Kathy Jo Kelly as Annie, Norwood Smith as Daddy Warbucks, Jane Connell, Ruth Kobart as Miss Hannigan, and Gary Beach as Rooster.

She hates children (whom she abuses with household chores and overprotects until they reach adulthood), but is fond of alcoholic beverages. So she runs away to find her parents - and along the way she rescues a friendly dog, meets millionaire Oliver Warbucks, and has a many scary and exciting adventures.However, whereas in the musical the orphans are not enrolled in school until the final scene, in the novelization they attend a public school, PS62, where they suffer from snobbery from teachers and harassment from non-orphan pupils, particularly from a spoiled rich girl named Myrtle Vandenmeer. Like the sun, no matter what happens, every day we rise, and these women will offer you their experiences and expertise along with the tools, mindset and belief to make sure that you rise gloriously every day. The novel details exactly how the FBI traced the note to Annie's real parents, as well as the circumstances surrounding their deaths. This production was a "bus and truck" tour, with a slightly reduced cast, that traveled the country and often played in two cities a week.
