“LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE” THE SPECTACULAR MUSICAL ARRIVING AT ARSHT CENTER
Who’s that little chatter box, the one with pretty auburn locks ‘It’s Little Orphan Annie. She, and her dog Sandy, never seem to have a care, and is one of the greatest family musicals of all time. Little Orphan Annie, who took Broadway by storm, lit up the big screen, and delighted adults and children all over the world, will be on stage at the Arsht Center from March 3-5, 2017.
Based on the popular comic strip “Little Orphan Annie,” who is a feisty depression-era orphan, is determined to find her parents who abandoned her years ago on the door step of a New York City orphanage, run by a cruel Miss Hannigan. In one fun filled adventure after another, Annie constantly spoils Miss Hannigan’s evil plans, befriends President Franklin D, Roosevelt, and finds a new family with billionaire Oliver, Daddy Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a loveable mutt named Sandy.
It took four and a half years to get Annie to Broadway, but once she arrived, there was no turning back for this courageous little red-headed waif who stole Daddy Warbuck’s heart. The beloved score for Annie includes "Maybe,” “It’s The Hard Knock Life,” “ You’re Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile.” “East Street,” “I Don’t Need Anything But You,” and the popular favorite “Tomorrow.” This production of Annie will be a brand new incarnation of the original, starring eleven year old, Tori Bates.

FANS OF ROLLING STONES HEAR THE SOUNDS OF
MICK JAGGER THROUGH CHRIS LE GRAND
There won’t be the real Mick Jagger on stage at the Boca Black Box on March 4, 2017, instead it will be the Satisfaction Rolling Stones Tribute Band with Chris Le Grand who portrays Jagger in the Satisfaction Band.
At this time he has pretty much gotten Jagger down to a science, by working on his drawl for fifteen years to develop the authentic sound. The band, which has the endorsement of the real Rolling Stones, has played all over the world including London and Moscow, averaging more than 125 shows a year. He has also put together a “Gimme Abbey” show that imagines a 1969 pairing of the Stones and the Beatles, that has gathered some interest on Broadway, creating more openings.
Hear the band live at the Boca Black Box in Boca Raton on March 4-2017 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $22.50 to $45 at the box office located at 8221 Glades Road Suite # 10, Boca Raton. For more information call 561-445-9244, or online at www.eveningstarproductions.org
