Annie may be back on Broadway at the moment, but you can avoid the airfare to New York to see the show by catching the beloved 1977 musical at the Paramount Theatre in Aurora. Just how the Paramount Theatre was able to contractually swing staging Annie at the same time as the Broadway revival is a mystery. But this Tony Award-winning musical based on Harold Gray's Depression-era comic strip is definitely an ideal show to see during the holiday season. Annie is now in previews through Friday, Nov. 23, with an official opening at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 24, at the Paramount Theatre, 23 E. Galena Blvd., Aurora. Tickets are $34.90-$46.90; for tickets, call 630-896-6666 or visit www.paramountaurora.com . Photo of Caroline Heffernan with Mikey the dog by Tom King |
