"Annie Live!" is a television musical event that will be broadcast live on NBC during the holiday season of 2021. The show is based on the Broadway musical "Annie" and the 1982 movie adaptation of the same name. The special will feature a new cast, with 11-year-old actress Celina Smith playing the starring role of Annie.
The story follows the young optimistic orphan Annie, who dreams of finding her parents and escaping Miss Hannigan's harsh orphanage. With the help of her fellow orphans, Annie embarks on an adventure that leads her to be adopted by the billionaire Oliver Warbucks. Along the way, she charms everyone she meets, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
"Annie Live!" will feature beloved songs such as "Tomorrow," "Hard-Knock Life," and "Maybe," as well as new musical arrangements mixed with colorful sets and dazzling choreographies. The show is set to capture the hearts of both new and old fans of the classic musical.
The last live musical event from NBC was "Dr. Seuss' The Grinch Musical!" starring Matthew Morrison, which aired in December 2020. With the anticipation and excitement for "Annie Live!," the network hopes to continue the tradition of live holiday musical events that bring families and friends together.
