Broadway’s bravest girl Annie the Musical

MACAU, July 5 - The Cultural Affairs Bureau presents Broadway classic Annie the Musical, scheduled for CCM’s Grand Auditorium in twelve shows, from 2 to 14 August. An optimistic celebration of love and the power of family included in the 1^st Macao International Children’s Arts Festival.

Staged to the sound of a most memorable score, featuring classic tunes like Tomorrow and It’s the Hard Knock Life, this must-see summer show for all ages tells the uplifting adventures of a brave little orphan. Determined to find her parents, fleeing from the evil clutches of the orphanage’s spiteful mistress, little Annie escapes to the Big Apple’s wondrous world. There, she finds a new family at Oliver Warbuck’s mansion – a lonely, eccentric billionaire that will change her life forever.

Hailed as one of the world’s best-loved shows, the original Broadway production won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. After becoming the third longest running musical of the 1970s, Annie still holds a special place in the hearts of a vast audience since it premiered, and it was even made into an Oscar nominated movie in the 1980s. This production has been on a cross-country tour in the US and is now traveling the world, bringing the story to life for a new era.
