Leapin’ Lizards! It’s the pint-size version of the Broadway musical about the world’s most famous red-topped orphan! Designed especially for young audiences, this shortened version of the full-length musical “Annie” written by Thomas Meehan, with lyrics by Martin Charmin and music by Charles Strouse, retains the same lovable story and irrestible music that made this musical a staple of American culture. Set in Depression-era New York, Annie is a plucky re-head orphan who longs to be rescued from a hard-knock orphanage, run by the mean-spirited Miss Hannigan. Good fortune smiles on Annie when Daddy Warbucks invites our heroine home for the holidays. But will Miss Hannigan’s shenanigans spoil Annie’s new-found happiness?
