Leapin’ Lizards! The timeless tale of Little Orphan Annie is back in the Pioneer Valley. With a cast ranging in ages 7 to 18 years, Starlight’s Youth Theatre, Inc. is giving a whole new generation of children and their families the chance to experience one of the world’s most beloved musicals about never giving up hope. Boasting one of Broadway’s most memorable scores, including “It’s the Hard-Knock Life”, “Easy Street”, “N.Y.C.” and “Tomorrow,” Annie is a delightful theatrical experience for the entire family. Annie is a spunky Depression-era orphan, living a “hard-knock life,” who is determined to find her parents. Her parents abandoned her 10 years ago on the doorstep of the New York City Municipal Orphanage, which is run by the embittered and tyrannical Miss Hannigan. Things may seem very bad, but feisty Annie carries a song in her heart and hope in her locket and a note- the only things she has from her parents. Annie escapes the orphanage and during her adventures, finds a new family and home in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy- with plenty of mischief and music in between.
