GREAT OPENING WEEKEND FOR ANNIE THE MUSICAL! 

FOURTH SHOW ADDED BY POPULAR DEMAND

The soon-to-be 90 year old Savoy Theatre parted the red curtain for Annie the Musical this past weekend for two capacity crowds of excited show-goers, who left the theatre singing the praises of cast, band and crew.

Under the direction of Hilary Scott and Wesley J. Colford, the much-loved story of Annie offers up a parade of loveable and devious characters, familiar melodies and adorable orphans, all with a live pit band, under the direction of Barb Stetter. Our own Orphan Annie, played by Victoria McDougall, is melting hearts on and off the stage, with Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks, played by Franklin McKibbon, by her side.

Stephanie Hennessey as Grace Farrell, Carol Anne Gillis as Miss Hannigan, Wesley J. Colford as Rooster Hannigan and Margaret MacPherson as Lily St. Regis lead us on a two-hour adventure with a long list of cooks, butlers, politicians, radio announcers, policemen, New Yorkers, President Roosevelt and even Sandy the dog himself, to find a happy ending for Annie. Full cast list below.

Due to popular demand, a fourth show has been added on November 17 at 7pm. Please be advised, tickets are now available for Thursday, November 17 and Friday, November 18, 7pm. Come enjoy these great performances at the Savoy Theatre!
