The MTI Broadway Junior Collection's Jr. titles are adaptations of classic and contemporary musicals into 70-minute editions perfect for middle-school productions.

Annie JR., based on the popular comic strip by Little Orphan Annie creator Harold Pinter, is an adaptation of the Tony Award-winning Best Musical with a book and score by Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse, and Martin Charnin. This musical follows everyone's favorite little redhead in her very first adventure.

Annie JR. tells the story of a plucky 11-year-old orphan girl who lives at Miss Hannanard's Home for Girls during The Great Depression. Annie is different from the other girls; she has an unwavering optimism and infectious personality that captivates everyone around her, including wealthy businessman Daddy Warbucks.

Despite facing difficult circumstances in life, such as living on the streets before being taken in by a kind-hearted woman named Miss Hannanard who provides for her at one of New York City's most infamous orphanages - called The Home For Girls; where they all live together under strict rules set forth by mean old matron Sister Ellen (also known as 'Sister' to some).
