FRIDAY & SATURDAY

Last Weekend!
Moonlight Amphitheatre: Annie

Cost: $27 – $50
Time: 8 p.m.
Location: Moonlight Amphitheatre – 1200 Vale Terrace, Vista, CA 92084

Leapin’ Lizards, Annie’s back! It’s been 24 years since Moonlight has presented ANNIE in its main stage season with an adult cast, an adorable company of little girls, and one cute pup. One of the world’s best-loved musicals about the comic strip heroine is a fun-filled adventure and is perfect summertime entertainment the entire family will love. Although Annie’s “hard knock life” has its challenges, this scrappy orphan refuses to let her circumstances get her down. Pretty soon this rags to riches kid captures the heart of everyone from Daddy Warbucks to Franklin Roosevelt. Boasting one of Broadway’s most memorable scores, including It’s the Hard Knock Life, Easy Street, N-Y-C, and the cheerily optimistic Tomorrow, the Tony Award-winning Annie is filled with delightful comedy and a bracing dose of optimism.
