“Annie” has reigned as one of the world’s most beloved family musicals since its original six-year Broadway run.
Annie Bennett is the iconic mop-topped orphan who knows the sun will come out tomorrow for her, no matter how dark
it gets today. (Even if “today” is under the domain of Miss Hannigan, the caretaker of the orphanage and an over-the-
top misopedist.) When Annie and her scrappy dog, Sandy, are taken in by the secretary of the billionaire Oliver
Warbucks, the girl’s lifelong search to find her birth parents sets off a chain of wacky, heartwarming adventures.
“Anne of Green Gables” Generations of readers have fallen in love with Lucy Maud Montgomery’s timeless tale of
imagination, resilience and the transformative power of love. When freckle-faced orphan Anne Shirley arrives in Avonlea,
she has little more than the clothes on her back. Soon her vivid imagination, fiery temper and tenacious spirit win over
her adoptive parents and schoolmates, including her arch nemesis, Gilbert. In this playful take on the beloved classic
novel, audiences meet Anne illuminated by her signature charm and irrepressible glory.
This trip includes the motorcoach transportation, tickets for both shows, and dinner.
We will get home approximately at 1:30 – 2:00 a.m.
