This year’s Broadway musical production,” Annie, Jr.,” tells the tale of Annie, an orphan determined to find her parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City orphanage run by the embittered Miss Hannigan.  In 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.  <\/span><\/div>\n
