Stage productions.
Pre-Broadway Tryout
On August 10, 1976, Annie made its World Premiere at the Goodspeed Opera House. However, the producers soon decided that Vigard's genuinely sweet interpretation was not tough enough for the street-smart orphan. After a week of performances, Vigard was replaced by Andrea McArdle.
Broadway
On April 21, 1977 The original Broadway production opened at the Alvin Theatre and starred Andrea McArdle, Reid Shelton and Dorothy Loudon. It was nominated for 11 Tony Awards and won 7. The show closed on January 2, 1983 and ran for a total of 2,377 performances. Annie will be re-opening on Broadway this year starring Victoria Kuak as Annie.
Original London cast
A London cast of Annie opened on West End in London in 1978. Ann Marie Gwatkin did the role for most of the show. Miss Hannigan was played by Sheila Hancock, and Daddy Warbucks was played by Stratford Johns.
Broadway revival
In 1997 a Broadway 20th anniversary revival starred Nell Carter, and later Sally Struthers, but controversy surrounded the casting of the titular character. The original girl cast in the role, Joanna Pacitti, was fired and replaced by her understudy, Brittney Kissinger. Public sentiment seemed to side with Pacitti as she was the winner of a highly-publicized contest to find a new Annie sponsored by the department store Macy's.
2005-2007 tour
Starting in 2005 the Annie logo used for the most recent tour, a 30th anniversary traveling production of Annie by Networks Tours embarked on a multi-city tour. The tour's initial 11-month run was extended into 2007. This production is directed by Martin Charnin and stars Conrad John Schuck, Alene Robertson as, and Marissa O'Donnell.
For the first year of the tour, Annie was played by Marissa O'Donnell. Throughout the show, there were a couple of replacements. Amanda Balon took the place of Lindsay Ryan as Molly, and McCall Montz took the place of Molly Ryan as Duffy and U.S. of Molly. Eventually, Jocelyn Chmielewski took the place of McCall Montz and Delaney Moro took the place of Stevani Weaver.
