💙 FEEL GOOD FRIDAY 💙

Rehearsals for Annie are going great... but let's be honest, Bailey may have discovered the best part of the entire production. 🐾

Between scenes this week, our lovable Golden Retriever (who plays Sandy) found himself surrounded by a very enthusiastic group of orphan girls eager to provide what we're officially calling "Orphan Cuddles." ❤️

Judging by that smile, we'd say Bailey is having the time of his life.

From the moment he arrives at rehearsal, Bailey is showered with love, attention, belly rubs, and enough affection to make even Daddy Warbucks jealous. The cast absolutely adores him and the feeling is clearly mutual!

If you think Bailey is cute in rehearsal, just wait until you see him steal hearts on stage this summer.

🍸 Meet Miss Hannigan... the woman you'll love to hate.

She's sarcastic. She's scheming. She's perpetually annoyed. And she's one of the most iconic characters in musical theatre history.

This summer, Shani Barrett brings the unforgettable Miss Hannigan to life in TheaterWorks' production of Annie. Whether she's dreaming of a life without orphans, plotting her next get-rich-quick scheme, or belting out one of the show's most hilarious musical numbers, Hannigan is guaranteed to steal every scene she's in.

Let's be honest... Annie wouldn't be nearly as much fun without her.

Come see why audiences have been laughing at Miss Hannigan's outrageous antics for generations!

💬 Be honest... who was your favorite villain when you were growing up?

❤️ Everyone deserves someone who looks at them the way Bailey looks at Azra. ❤️

We're pretty sure Bailey has already decided that Annie is his favorite person in New York City.

As rehearsals continue for *Annie*, the friendship between Azra Kearns (Annie) and Bailey (Sandy) is quickly becoming one of the sweetest parts of the production. And honestly... can you blame him? Just look at that face. 🐾

Their bond is helping bring to life one of musical theatre's most beloved friendships... a loyal dog and the optimistic young girl who changes everyone's life she touches.

If this photo doesn't melt your heart, just wait until you see them on stage together.

🪣 It's a hard-knock life... but somebody's got to do it! 🪣

The orphan girls of Annie took a quick break from rehearsals last night to pose with Director/Choreographer Molly Lajoie and we couldn't resist sharing this behind-the-scenes moment!

These talented young performers have been working incredibly hard to bring the world of Annie to life, learning choreography, music, and all the energy that makes this beloved Broadway classic so unforgettable. Their dedication, enthusiasm, and teamwork are helping create a production audiences won't want to miss.

Featuring a cast of 44 performers, including 17 young actresses portraying Annie's fellow orphans, TheaterWorks' production of Annie is shaping up to be a heartwarming theatrical experience for the whole family.
