The U.S. national tour of ANNIE is coming to Orange County at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts May 13-24, 2015. This iconic Tony Award-winning show, which is being directed for the 19th time by the show’s original director and lyricist Martin Charnin, remains one of the biggest Broadway musical hits ever. Who doesn’t belt out song’s from ANNIE’s beloved score – like “Tomorrow” and “Maybe” – at least once during the day? There’s a reason this amazing show ran for 2,377 performances when it first opened April 21, 1977 and has been running somewhere around the world for the last 37 years.
