Leapin’ Lizards! Everyone’s favorite redhead returns to IU Auditorium with all the laughter, all the joy, and all the heartfelt sentimentality that has inspired generations of readers, movie fans, and theatregoers to fall in love with this timeless, rags-to-riches tale!

This season, the world’s best-loved musical returns in time-honored form. Directed by original lyricist and director Martin Charnin and choreographed by IU alum Liza Gennaro, this production of Annie will be a brand-new incarnation of the iconic original.

Featuring book and score by Tony Award winners Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse, and Martin Charnin, Annie includes such unforgettable songs as “It’s the Hard Knock Life,” “Easy Street,” “I Don’t Need Anything But You,” plus the eternal anthem of optimism, “Tomorrow.”

Bring the whole family to experience the incredible music, fantastic performances, and unbridled joy in this classic musical for all ages.

This year, IU Auditorium's Give The Magic program is partnering with Annie and IU Auditorium Circle of Friends to provide special outreach experiences and free tickets to Annie to under-served youth. Visit www.iuauditorium.com/get-involved/give-the-magic to learn more.
