Plot Synopsis
Directed by Lear deBessonet and choreographed by Sergio Trujillo, ANNIE LIVE! is a made-for-TV revival of the Tony-winning musical "Annie," which was inspired by Harold Gray's comic strip, "Little Orphan Annie." ANNIE LIVE! follows the story of an 11-year-old orphan, her wealthy benefactor Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks, her loyal dog Sandy, and Miss Hannigan, the caretaker of the orphanage where Annie lives.
