Orpheus Brings in Enjoyable Performances in This Totally Credible Version of the Well Known Show Annie.
The story of Annie the orphan who is adopted by billionaire Daddy Warbucks is as familiar as it is sentimental.
Originally a popular comic strip, the fairytale was meant to inject hope into a bad time. Set in 1933 New York City against the backdrop of the aftermath of the Depression and the advent of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, it promises that dreams can come true. The poorest of children may be adopted by the richest of men, who will even be willing to take in a stray dog.
