The Somerville High School Drama Club performed the musical Annie this past Thursday and Friday at the Somerville Theatre in Davis Square.
Along with two-dozen high school students onstage and just as many more working behind the scenes, the musical featured more than 30 local third-, fourth- and fifth-graders representing every one of Somerville’s public elementary schools who performed as Annie’s fellow orphans.
Annie’s score is chock-full of some of the more recognizable musical numbers from the contemporary Broadway songbook, including Hard-Knock Life, N.Y.C., You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile, Easy Street, Maybe and, of course, Tomorrow. The SHS production featured some contemporary twists in the staging and choreography.
