Broadway’s newest Annie is unveiled

NEW YORK

Broadway’s newest Annie is an 11-year-old from Los Angeles with long black curly hair who is already a Broadway veteran.

Lilla Crawford was unveiled Friday as the girl slated to play the title role in a fall revival of the Tony Award-winning musical “Annie.”

She made her Broadway debut last year playing Debbie in the closing cast of “Billy Elliot.”

Crawford, who has been in a community theater production of “Annie,” beat out over 5,000 other little girls to play Annie during a coast-to-coast search that spanned nine months.
