The cast of 19
children are between the ages of 8 and 14 and rehearsed all throughout the month
of July to present this classic Broadway musical in August. The production
received such rave reviews that Kidz Kabaret decided to give Lafayette one more
chance to see this incredible children’s production directed by Kidz Kabaret
artistic director, Travis Guillory.
Based on the
popular Broadway musical, which was adapted from the comic strip “Little Orphan
Annie,” Annie Jr. tells the story of a spunky, Depression-era orphan who
is determined to find her parents, who abandoned her on the doorstep of a New
York City orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. During adventure after
fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan’s evil plans, befriends
President Franklin Roosevelt and finds a new family in billionaire Oliver
Warbucks, his personal secretary Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.
The musical features a book by Thomas Meehan, music by Charles Strouse, and
lyrics by Martin Charnin.
Kidz Kabaret is
a theatre education program that showcases the theatrical talent of children
ages 4 to 14. The goal is to give each child an opportunity to perform while
learning about all aspects of musical theatre through specific curriculums. It
focuses on the individual child and his or her unique talents and
abilities.
