ANNIE is definitely up there with my top 5 favorite musicals of all time. I mean, who wouldn’t love the red-haired orphan? Also, the music. It’s classic Broadway, and it never goes out of style.
This show is also the first play I performed in as a kid, so it has a special place in my heart, and is one my girls have grown to love as well. I can’t wait to take them to this show when it comes to Detroit this February. In my opinion, it’s a must for any theatre-loving child’s bucket list!
ABOUT THE SHOW
Olympia Entertainment and MagicSpace Entertainment are proud to announce that ANNIE will play the Fox Theatre on Friday, February 17 and Saturday, February 18.

The show remains one of the biggest Broadway musical hits ever.
