comic strip :Little
Orphan
Annie
Little Orphan Annie was a daily American comic strip created by Harold Gray (1894–1968) and syndicated by Tribune Media Services. The strip took its name from the 1885 poem "Little Orphant Annie" by James Whitcomb Riley, and made its debut on August 5, 1924 in the New York Daily News. It ranked number one in popularity in a Fortune poll in 1937.
The plot follows the wide-ranging adventures of Annie, her dog Sandy, and her benefactor Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks. Secondary characters include Punjab, the Asp and Mr. Am. The strip attracted adult readers with political commentary that targeted (among other things) organized labor, the New Deal and communism.
Following Gray's death in 1968, several artists drew the strip and, for a time, "classic" strips were rerun. Little Orphan Annie inspired a radio show in 1930, film adaptations by RKO in 1932 and Paramount in 1938 and a Broadway musical Annie in 1977 (which itself was released as a film in 1982). The strip's popularity declined over the years and was running in only 20 newspapers when it was cancelled on June 13, 2010.

Annie is a Broadway musical based upon the popular Harold Gray comic strip Little Orphan Annie, with music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin, and the book by Thomas Meehan. The original Broadway production opened in 1977 and ran for nearly six years, setting a record for the Alvin Theatre (now the Neil Simon Theatre).[1] It spawned numerous productions in many countries, as well as national tours, and won the Tony Award for Best Musical. The musical's songs "Tomorrow" and "It's the Hard-Knock Life" are among its most popular musical numbers.
Plot
Act 1
It is 1933 and eleven-year-old Annie is in the Municipal Girls Orphanage, along with Molly (age 6), Kate (age 7), Tessie (age 10), Pepper (age 12), July (age 13), and Duffy (age 13). When Molly awakes from a bad dream at 3:00 AM, Annie comforts her. She then asks her to read the note her parents gave her in 1922, when she was left on the doorstep of the orphanage. The note says that they will come pick her up, so she is always hopeful that they are still out there ("Maybe").
Annie decides to escape to find her parents, but is caught by the orphanage supervisor Miss Hannigan, who is currently suffering from a hangover. She is angered by this and forces all the girls to vigorously clean the orphanage ("Hard Knock Life"). Shortly after, Mr. Bundles, the laundry man, comes in to pick up the blankets. While Miss Hannigan is flirting with him, Annie climbs into the laundry basket and the orphans cover her up with the blankets. Once Miss Hannigan realizes she is gone, the other orphans express their frustration ("Hard Knock Life Reprise").
Annie successfully escapes, running into a friendly stray dog. As she comforts him, she tells him of better days yet to come ("Tomorrow"). The dog catcher is after him, so she pretends he is hers by calling him Sandy. Though at first unsuccessful, he is convinced, and she continues. She later finds a Hooverville, where people made homeless by the Great Depression have come together as a community ("We'd Like To Thank You, Herbert Hoover"). However, a policeman named Lt. Ward (who had been sent by Miss Hannigan) catches her and brings her back.
Grace Farrell, assistant to the billionaire Oliver Warbucks, comes to the orphanage asking for an orphan to come to his mansion for the Christmas holiday. Because Annie was in Miss Hannigan's office, Grace asks to take her, and Miss Hannigan reluctantly agrees. Once she has left, Miss Hannigan explodes with her hatred for all the girls in the orphanage ("Little Girls").
Meanwhile, at the Warbucks Mansion, the staff welcomes Annie with open arms ("I Think I'm Gonna Like it Here"). When Oliver Warbucks comes back though, he is very moody and not too happy to have an orphan in his mansion. He asks Grace to take Annie to a movie, but she persuades him to come. As he and Annie begin to like each other, they enjoy a fabulous night in New York City ("N.Y.C.").
Back at the orphanage, Miss Hannigan's brother, Rooster, and his floozy girlfriend, Lily, pay a visit. She mentions that Annie is staying at a billionaire's house, and they think they could use this situation to get rich, though they don't yet know how ("Easy Street").
Warbucks sees the locket around Annie's neck, and buys her a new one from Tiffany & Co. He debates taking her "under his wing" because he doesn't know much about children, but decides he loves her and gives her the locket ("Why Should I Change A Thing?"). However, she bursts into tears saying it was the only thing left by her parents, and refuses to accept a new one. Grace and the staff then pledge to find her parents no matter what it takes ("You Won't be an Orphan For Long").
Act 2
Annie appears on the radio on a show by Bert Healy ("Maybe" Reprise) where Warbucks announces that he is offering $50,000 to the couple who can prove they are her parents. Healy then sings a song with the Boylan Sisters ("You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile"). The orphans are listening, and decide to dance and sing to the song they have just heard ("You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" Reprise). When Miss Hannigan hears, she barges in and demands to know what was happening. Molly announces that Annie was on the radio, and that there is a $50,000 reward for her parents. Miss Hannigan is anything but pleased. Shortly after, a couple named Ralph and Shirley Mudge arrive, saying they left a little girl here eleven years ago and have come back for her. Miss Hannigan is shocked. They soon reveal themselves to be Rooster and Lily, and explain their plan for the reward. They request information about Annie from Miss Hannigan for one third of the money, though she demands one half for this service, and tells them about the note and the locket. ("Easy Street" Reprise).
Warbucks brings Annie to Washington, DC where she requests to meet the president. Warbucks thinks that it would be better if Annie waited outside, but Franklin D. Roosevelt asks her to stay. She begins to sing "Tomorrow", though shushed by the cabinet. Roosevelt, however, believes that people must be optimistic during tough times, and commands them to sing ("Tomorrow" (Cabinet Reprise)). Once back home, Warbucks tells Annie how much he loves her ("Something Was Missing"). Because her parents have not shown up, he announces he would like to adopt her ("I Don't Need Anything But You"). They decide to throw a Christmas party, and Annie wants to invite Miss Hannigan and the orphans. While preparing, the delighted staff tell of how her arrival has changed their lives ("Annie").
Judge Louis Brandeis shows up to begin the adoption proceedings, but is interrupted by Mr. and Mrs. Mudge (Rooster and Lily in disguise) who come to pick up Annie. Grace and Warbucks are shocked, because they know about the note and the locket. Still, Warbucks doesn't think they are her real parents. He requests that she be allowed to stay one more night for the Christmas party, and then be taken away to their supposed pig farm in New Jersey. Early that morning, she wishes she could have been adopted, and not sent off with her "parents" ("Maybe" (Reprise)). Warbucks then receives a surprise visit from Roosevelt and his Secret Service. It is revealed by him that Annie's parents are actually David and Margaret Bennett who died when she was a baby. They then realize that Mr. and Mrs. Mudge are really Rooster and Lily just as they show up to claim her and the money. They, along with Miss Hannigan, are arrested by the Secret Service, and everyone is delighted by Roosevelt's new deal for the economy ("New Deal for Christmas").

《安妮》[音乐剧] - 所获成就
荣获1977年托尼奖(Tony Award)最佳音乐剧,最佳曲谱,最佳编剧
在美国,英国,澳大利亚,墨西哥,日本,阿根廷,挪威,荷兰,瑞典,以色列,西班牙,津巴布韦12个国家拥有27个演出版本,是美国首部享誉全球的舞台版音乐剧。《安妮》于1982改编成电影,1999年再度改编,成为电视电影。
安妮成为全美最受欢迎的儿童形象,已上升成文化符号,其坚韧乐观的精神不断鼓舞着美国青少年。莎拉•杰西卡•帕克(Sarah Jessica Parker),谢利•布鲁斯(Shelley Bruce),艾利森•史密斯(Allison Smith),阿里森•柯克(Alyson Kirk)等当红明星均因童年主演该剧而踏上星途。
70年代的音乐剧《安妮》是一部非常成功的“新剧本音乐剧”(New book musicals),什么是“新剧本音乐剧”呢?这是70年代末美国百老汇形成的一种以崭新视角改编著名影视、戏剧、小说作品的音乐剧形式,是对未来音乐剧发展的一种探求。一些编剧将对现实生活的判断渗透进了音乐剧中。但是在70年代中期,无论音乐多么出色,明星多么出彩,大部分这种类型的音乐剧都逃脱不了失败的命运。一些人认为这种“剧本音乐剧”失去了方向,在百老汇它们就像是一个可怜的孤女或是一只流浪狗。不过在其中《安妮》仍是出类拔萃的佼佼者。音乐剧《安妮》幽默演绎了20世纪30年代美国大萧条时期小孤女安妮的故事。小安妮乐观开朗的人生哲学恰是经济危机中的美国人民积极向上的精神象征。该剧中歌曲和情节水乳交融。那条有趣而精巧的牙膏广告“没有微笑就没有打扮好”以及“明天”等歌曲就是主人公积极乐观的人生态度和勇气的最好表达,并把一个充满理想和希望的安妮带到数百万剧迷们面前。
安妮还多次出现在银幕上,由RKO和派拉蒙公司于1932年和1938年先后搬上银幕。1981年1月14日,好莱坞举行了由约翰·休士顿执导的电影《安妮》的新闻发布会。哥伦比亚电影公司当时宣称1982年将是“安妮年”。
1983年1月2日,《安妮》以2377场的好成绩在百老汇闭幕后,《安妮》续集《海妮根小姐的复仇》的排演计划被公之于众。1990年1月4日,《安妮》续集在肯尼迪中心开幕,但是1月20日就宣布闭幕,还取消了在百老汇的演出计划。重新改写的续集于5月17日在康涅狄格州上演,8周以后再一次进行修改。1993年8月9日,焕然一新的《安妮》续集《安妮·沃巴克斯》在499座的纽约剧艺剧院重新登场,持续上演了7个月。
1997年3月26日,在第一次完全现场晚间百老汇剧目节开幕式演出上,为庆祝内尔·卡特(Nell Carter)主演海妮根小姐20周年纪念,通过互联网对著名音乐剧《安妮》进行了现场直播。1997年3月27日,百老汇第一件纪念品,一个“安妮”的咖啡杯,通过国际互联网卖给了巴西的网友。
1999《安妮》还被拍摄成电视电影搬上了电视银屏。这个版本也赢得了许多赞誉。 [1]
