Audiences will be taken back to Great Depression-era New York City to follow the rags-to-riches story of “Annie.” The musical, featuring songs including “Tomorrow” and “Hard Knock Life,” opened on Friday at Manhattan Arts Center.
“This is a show about extremes,” the show’s director Kim Riley said. “You have these people in the extreme worst situations — never met parents, live hand-to-mouth, eat mush, they are child laborers within their own territory and by pure dumb extreme luck, here comes one of the richest men in America.”
The show opens in a shabby orphanage, where 11-year-old Annie and the other girls are mistreated, neglected and overworked by Miss Hannigan (Jennifer Schermerhorn).
