In a lot of ways, ANNIE's opening night was your standard star-studded Broadway affair. A glittering array of guests dressed to the nines, paparazzi, celebrities, press, investors and the creatives who brought the show to life.
However, there was one major difference at this particular opening night. The “who’s who” of Broadway were out in full force, but this time they weren’t with their usual elegant dates. They were with... their kids!

After the show, everyone poured out through Times Square to the ANNIE opening night party. These soirees are quite the festive events but they are not all fun games. In fact, these parties are a key opportunity for producers, actors, theater owners, and designers to get in the room with each other for networking and moving deals forward.

Just like in the musical, when little orphan Annie reminds President Roosevelt and his cabinet that optimism rules the day and “the sun will come out tomorrow”, so, too, did a room brimming with starry eyed children, remind us all of why we all got into show business in the first place.
