Overview
- Producers announced on Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2026 that Sam Pinkleton will direct a Broadway revival of Annie planned for fall 2027 to mark the show’s 50th anniversary.
- Michael Alden and Halcyon Theatricals, led by Hal Luftig, Cathy Dantchik and Kevin Connor, are producing the new staging.
- Key production elements—casting, the specific Broadway theatre, exact performance dates and additional creative-team members—have not been revealed and will be disclosed in future announcements.
- Pinkleton has other high-profile commitments early in 2027, including an Encores! production in February, a factor reporters say could shape the revival’s scheduling and the casting window for child roles.
- Annie first reached Broadway in 1977, won seven Tony Awards, has been revived on Broadway twice before and been adapted for film and television, which producers and families frame as the reason a Broadway return is a cultural homecoming.
