About annie on broadway, video & photos.

What Is the Story of Annie ? Based on the popular comic strip, Annie tells the extraordinary story of a little orphan who spends ends up in the lap of luxury with Depression-era billionaire Oliver Warbucks. Unlike most of the other children at Miss Hannigan's orphanage, spunky Annie believes that her parents are still alive and will one day return to claim her. So when Mr. Warbucks offers to adopt her, she asks the most powerful man in America to help find her real mom and dad instead, and he agrees. Warbucks' whopping reward for Annie's parents attracts the attention of con artists Rooster, Lily and the wicked Miss Hannigan, who hatch a plot to kidnap Annie and take the $50,000 reward. But don't fret: This classic family musical has a happy ending for Annie, Daddy Warbucks and the whole gang.

"Though the story may be familiar, director James Lapine's new production feels as fresh as a Lower East Side bialy on a Sunday morning." Entertainment Weekly Jessica Shaw

"Infused with zip and charm by its sensational Annie, Noo-Yawk-tawkin’ Lilla Crawford, the show, slickly staged by James Lapine, tells you that any city or nation keeping faith with the future will rise again, come hell or high water." The Washington Post Peter Marks

"For all the freight of timeliness, this remains a sweet spot of a family musical, full of adorable, but not sticky-adorable, waifs punching the air with their teeny fists and belting 'Tomorrow' over and over until every cynic within earshot might be a believer." Newsday Linda Winer

"This enduring ode to optimism remains a sterling example of expert musical-theater craftsmanship." The Hollywood Reporter David Rooney

Taylor fritz’s missed chance not solely to blame for us men’s grand slam drought continuing.

Jannik Sinner’s game was too big for Taylor Fritz and so, distressingly, was the moment. The drought without an American Grand Slam champion on the men’s side will bleed into a 22nd year when the calendar flips to 2025.

The twin charge of Fritz and Frances Tiafoe to Friday’s emotional five-set, Red, White and Blue semifinal energized the Open after the early eliminations of Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. Possibilities piqued imaginations to the extent where the narrative likely diverted from reality.

That was until Sunday when Sinner, the No. 1 player in the world, was cold reality all wrapped up in himself in becoming the first Italian to win the Open with a routine 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 victory in which neither champion nor runner-up was close to the best version of himself.

Sinner somehow won 86 percent of his first-serve points even while getting in only 51 percent of his first serves. Sinner won the first set with seven winners and eight unforced errors. Fritz was broken three times in the first set.

He was broken trying to stay in the first serve serving at 3-5; he was broken serving to stay in the second set at 4-5; he was broken serving for the third set at 5-4; and then two games later, he was broken serving to stay in the match at 5-6.

This was an opportunity lost, not so much for the collective group of Americans who at least have featured four semifinal appearances in the last three Opens (Tiafoe in 2022 and 2024, Ben Shelton in 2023 and Fritz now) but for this 26-year-old who has been at it on the ATP Tour since 2015.

Fritz knew it. He knew he had not given himself his best shot of pulling the upset. The Californian improved his ranking from 12 to seven over the fortnight, coinciding with his best performance ever at a major, but this runner-up was not swilling the sweet smell of success.

“There’s obviously a lot of positives, and when I get some time to cool down, you know, then I’ll be happy about the fact that I made it to the finals and stuff like that,” Fritz said. “But right now, I’m pretty just disappointed in how, like, just a lot of things on the court, how I played, how I hit certain shots. It sucks.

“It’s really disappointing right now. I feel like, I don’t know, I feel like the fans, obviously, American fans, been wanting a men’s champion for a long time, and I just, I don’t know, I’m pretty upset with how I played.

“I feel like, I don’t know, I feel like I almost let a lot of people down.”

Of course, Fritz let no one down. Maybe himself. He will feel better about it in a week or two or three. It is, however, also the truth that second chances are never guaranteed. Professional sports are littered with young teams who exceed expectations and go deep into the playoffs, maybe to the championship or final round before losing, are expected to be perennial contenders, and never get that far again. It happens.

Fritz’s progress has not been linear. He ascended to the No. 5 ranking in the world in February 2023 but tumbled out of the top 10 by the end of the year, only now returning. There is no guarantee he will be able to use this performance as a springboard or a platform for perennial contention at majors. Advancing to the quarters and no further, as Fritz did at Australia and Wimbledon this year, will not be measured as good enough.

The Americans will have five men ranked among the top 17 when the ATP releases its update on Monday with Fritz at No. 7; 27-year-old Tommy Paul at No. 13; 24-year-old Sebastian Korda at No. 15; 26-year-old Tiafoe at No. 16; and 21-year Shelton at No. 17. There is a certain expectation attached to this group, and certainly so with the Big Three’s loss of influence.

Though Roger Federer does not lurk, neither does Rafa Nadal and neither for much of this fortnight did Djokovic, there are formidable players at the top. Formidable young players. Indeed, the 23-year-old Sinner bookended the Slam season by taking home both the Australian and U.S. Opens while the 21-year-old Alcaraz captured Roland Garros and Wimbledon.

Pete Sampras won his 14th and final major at the 2002 Open, and then Federer started winning them in 2003, Nadal in 2005 and Djokovic in 2008. There is always a next one. Sometimes, a next duo or trio.

“I think that you can find yourself a little deeper in the draws, like, quarterfinals and stuff if you just play solid tennis,” Fritz said. “I still think to beat the top guys, you need to bring your best game.”

Fritz did not come close to accomplishing that Sunday. Sinner and the moment were both too big for him. We’ll see whether this becomes a learning lesson or a false start.

Twenty-three years is obviously not on Fritz alone, but that’s probably how he’s feeling right now after this lost opportunity.

Lana del rey and rumored boyfriend jeremy dufrene hold hands as they attend model karen elson’s nyc wedding.

Lana Del Rey brought her rumored boyfriend, Jeremy Dufrene, as her plus one to model Karen Elson’s New York City wedding Saturday.

The “Summertime Sadness” songstress and the alligator tour guide were photographed holding hands upon leaving the ceremony venue at Electric Lady Studios.

Del Rey, 39, was all smiles and didn’t shy away from keeping a tight hold on Dufrene, 49, as paparazzi swarmed them.

The pop star donned a satin blue halter-style dress and white ballet flats for her friend’s nuptials to Lee Foster, who is the owner of the Greenwich Village recording studio.

As for Dufrene, he sported a blue suit with a white button-up shirt and brown dress shoes.

Del Rey wasn’t seen with her BFF Taylor Swift — despite the 14-time Grammy winner arriving at the ceremony earlier in the day with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

Del Rey and Dufrene first sparked romance rumors when they were seen holding hands at the Reading & Leeds Festival in the UK last month, per an Instagram video.

According to the Daily Mail, the duo made a pit stop in London to visit Harrod’s and a bar.

The “West Coast” singer and Dufrene’s history dates back to March 2019 when she took one of his Airboat Tours by Arthur cruises while visiting Louisiana for the BUKU Music + Art Project festival.

At the time, Dufrene documented meeting the hitmaker on Instagram, writing, “I never know who I can run across on my tours but always a pleasure @lanadelrey.”

Del Rey also commemorated the trip with a picture posted via Facebook, captioning it, “Jeremy lemme be captain at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours x.”

The pair seemingly met up once again when the 11-time Grammy nominee took another one of Dufrene’s tours in May.

“Family w my guy @jeremy.dufrene,” Del Rey captioned a snap of herself with two pals.

Last week, Del Rey seemingly denied she Dufrene and were dating after a fan account shared additional details about her “latest boyfriend.”

Per People, Dufrene has a son and two daughters.

The “Radio” singer was last rumored to be dating musician Jack Donoghue in 2022 and musician Clayton Johnson in 2020.
