Next month Annie Jr is premiering at the Thomas Jefferson Community Theatre. In celebration of this exciting, heartfelt musical, we are highlighting our 5 favorite Annie Jr songs.
#5 – Maybe
The sweetest and saddest song. Little Annie dreaming about what her parents are like is definitely a tear jerker for a few. With Annie’s one and only dream being to have a family, the ending of the show truly makes you happy.
#4 – Easy Street
Who doesn’t love money? Nobody loves it more than Miss. Hannigan and Rooster. Who doesn’t love a brother sister singing duo? Who doesn’t love a good plan? This song has it all and it’s a catchy tune! If you don’t find yourself humming along when you hear it, play it again!
#3 – I Don’t Need Anything But You
The cutest duet! Nothing is better than family, and Annie and Warbucks prove it’s all you need. It turns out Annie was right. The sun will come out tomorrow!
#2 – Tomorrow
The most hopeful song in the entire show. The optimism that Annie has is a reminder that there is a brighter future. If anything bad happens and you’re feeling sad, always hold onto the hope of a better tomorrow. And remember, you learned it from Annie!
#1 – Hard Knock Life
Chores, what a bore! This song has it all! Compelling and clever lyrics, a nice beat, and great choreography. It’s an enjoyable number and a definite crowd pleaser. If you don’t know the lyrics to this song you should check them out.
