Located in front of jm S3 FR Casa Tomas on Texas Ave. NEW YORK (AP) — Yes, Annie, there will be a “Tomorrow.” “Annie 2,” a sequel to the long- running Broadway musical about the world’s most famous orphan, will open in New York next March after tryouts in Washington and Boston. “This story is not really as much a sequel as it is a continuation,” says Martin Charnin, lyricist and director of the original “Annie” which ar rived on Broadway in April 1977 and ran for 2,377 performances. “The new show, which is subtitled ‘Miss Hannigan’s Revenge,’ is a Crackerjack box musical,” says Char nin, who again will supply the lyrics and direction. ★ ★ JITTERBUG ★ ★ It s Not Too Late !

She succeeds in doing just that. But there are many other complications that will keep you on the edge of your seat, I hope.” Rehearsals begin in October, with a first performance Dec. 14 at Wash ington’s Kennedy Center Opera House where the musical will play seven weeks, says Charnin. It will then play Boston, probably at the Shubert Theater, for four weeks, before coming to Broadway March 8, 1990. A New York theater has not been booked.

This focus and drive to succeed is so strong that it has united this band despite what others might see as a possible source of conflict — Hag gerty and Duran were once married to one another, and then divorced before either joined the band. However, says Haggerty, this is not a problem. “At first, it was awk ward,” he said. “But Becky and I are both professional musicians, and when we’re in the band, she’s back up and I’m keyboards. It’s a good goal to suppress your pride when the end result is a good band.” Their memberships in the band are not the only ones that seem un usual. Jackson took a different route as well. After an aborted attempt at college, Jackson did a four-and-a- half-year stint in the Marines. Decid ing that was not for him, he got a de gree from University of Texas (San Antonio) and is now teaching high in the Edgewood district of San Anto nio. Jackson and James, a bank em ployee by day, share a common vi sion of what the band wants to ac complish. Jackson said, “Derek and I both feel that we have something to say. Pop stars attain an instant credi bility — we want to get to that level where people listen to what we have to say.” ROAD TRIPS Soul artists perform in ‘Superfest’ Saturday Some of the hottest names in soul/rhythm & blues and rap mu sic will be performing in the “Budweiser Superfest,” which will be held in the Houston Sum mit Saturday night at 7:30.
