Dorothy Loudon "ANNIE 2" Charles Strouse 1989 Tryout Ticket Presentation Folder

Description

This is a rare ticket presentation folder which was designed to hold the tickets for the out-of-town tryouts of the CHARLES STROUSE, MARTIN CHARNIN and THOMAS MEEHAN musical comedy "ANNIE 2" at
the
John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
in
Washington, D.C
. (The first attempt at a
sequel
to "ANNIE",
Annie 2: Miss Hannigan's Revenge
, opened at
the
John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
in
Washington, D.C.
in December 1989 to universally disastrous reviews. Extensive reworking of the script and score at the Goodspeed Opera House proved futile, and the project ended before reaching Broadway. In 1993, a second attempt, entitled
Annie Warbucks
,
opened at the
