Annie Reunion with Martin Charnin and Charles Strouse
Saigon surrenders; Nixon resigns; Ford to city: drop dead; Son of Sam; inflation; stagnation; blackouts… In 1977, drowning in bad headlines, New Yorkers were depressed and pessimistic, but at the Alvin Theater, a red-headed, quick-witted, kind-hearted orphan lifted their spirits. The sun will come out tomorrow. Annie creators Martin Charnin and Charles Strouse reunite on the Library stage to reflect on one of Broadway’s most beloved hits. They will share untold stories of Annie’s creation, illustrated by artifacts from the Library’s theatre archives, and they will remember their brilliant, recently-departed colleague, Thomas Meehan.
