Halifax Repertory Theatre is presenting its fall production of Broadway musical "Annie," to open at the Ormond Beach Performing Arts Center on Friday, Oct. 17.
The show, with performances scheduled through Oct. 26, is based on “Little Orphan Annie” by permission of Tribune Content Agency, LLC, according to a press release. With music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin, and book by Thomas Meehan, the show follows red-headed orphan Annie as she navigates Depression-era New York in search of her parents — winning the heart of billionaire Oliver Warbucks along the way.
"We are thrilled to bring this family favorite to Ormond Beach," HRT's press release states. "'Annie' is more than just a show — it’s a celebration of resilience, love, and community, and we can’t wait to share it with our audiences."
The musical features songs like songs like “Tomorrow,” “It’s the Hard Knock Life” and “Maybe." Additionally, the role of Judge Brandeis will be played by a different local celebrity each performance. On opening night, Friday, Oct. 17, the role will be played by Ormond Beach Mayor Jason Leslie.
"Halifax Repertory Theatre would like to extend its heartfelt thanks to Attorney Jack Cook," the press release states. "None of this would be possible without his continued support of our program and his belief in the power of the arts."
The show dates and times are as follow:
