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.

The original “Annie,” based on
the famous Harold Gray comic strip
“Little Orphan Annie,” ended with
the imprisonment of Miss Hanni-
gan, the villainous matron wno ran
the orphanage, and the adoption of
Annie by the wealthy Daddy War-
bucks.
“In ‘Annie 2,’ which takes place
six weeks after the original, Miss
Hannigan is still in prison,” Charnin
says. “Her one dream is to wreak
havoc on Annie and get revenge.
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.

week on the band. “We try to over
kill everything,” said James. “If you
don’t put out 100% every time, you
might get caught with your pants
down and miss out on an opportuni-
ty-” . t .
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.”
