The Broadway production of ‘Annie’ kicked off at the Landmark Theatre in Syracuse on Tuesday night, and officials estimate that the production has already generated an economic impact of over $1.5 million for Syracuse.

The production travels with 89 people, including managers, performers, technicians, a creative team, an educator, and an animal trainer, all of whom lived and worked in Syracuse for three weeks during rehearsals ahead of opening night.

During those three weeks, team members stayed at local hotels and frequented local restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and other attractions.

Officials estimate that the ‘Annie’ team spent over 1,300 nights in hotels.

60 team members who were hired locally have already worked over 260 days, and that number increases as performances continue through the week.

Syracuse Deputy Commissioner Eric Ennis presented a proclamation to ‘Annie’ Executive Producer Kori Prior, Landmark Theatre Executive Director Mike Intaglietta, and ‘Annie’ cast members, declaring October 4 through October 8 to be ‘Annie’ National Tour Days in Syracuse.

Tickets for the musical are going fast and in honor of Annie’s dog Sandy, if you donate to the Humane CNY Shelter, you get 25% off tickets.
