‘Annie’ Comes to The Fox Theatre in Atlanta

Leapin’ Lizards! Regions Bank Broadway in Atlanta announced that an all-new tour of the iconic Tony Award®-winning musical ANNIE will play at the Fox Theatre from Dec. 5 – 10 as part of the Regions Bank Broadway in Atlanta 2023/2024 season.  This multi-week tour is produced by Crossroads Live North America.

Holding onto hope when times are tough can take an awful lot of determination, and sometimes, an awful lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package. Little Orphan Annie has reminded generations of theatergoers that sunshine is always right around the corner, and now the best-loved musical of all time is set to return in this new production – just as you remember it and just when we need it most. This celebration of family, optimism and the American spirit remains the ultimate cure for all the hard knocks life throws your way.

Hailed by the Chicago Tribune as, “one of the best family musicals ever penned!”, ANNIE features a book by Thomas Meehan, music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Martin Charnin. All three authors received the 1977 Tony Awards® for their work.

By permission of Tribune Content Agency, LLC, ANNIE is based on Harold Gray’s popular comic strip “Little Orphan Annie” which premiered in the 1920s in the New York Daily News and became one of the most widely read strips in the 30s and 40s. Lyricist Martin Charnin bought a coffee table book called “The Life and Hard Times of Little Orphan Annie” as a Christmas gift for a friend in 1970. The clerk at the bookstore was too busy to wrap the book, so Charnin took the book home to wrap it. Instead, he read it and fell in love with the strip and set out to secure the rights. The friend never got the book.

This production of ANNIE was licensed by Music Theatre International.

ANNIE will play for a limited engagement in Atlanta from Dec. 5 – 10.

The performance schedule is as follows:

• Tuesday – Thursday 7:30 p.m.
• Friday 8 p.m.
• Saturday 2 p.m., 8 p.m.
• Sunday 1 p.m., 6:30 p.m.
