Oliver! / Annie

The two definative orphan musicals, together at last, together forever!
ANNIE: The frizzy-headed orphan who started out as a comic strip character here becomes a box-office bonanza. This popular movie musical, in which the ever-smiling moppet seeks her true parents but finds unlikely friends and adventures, is taken from the same-titled boffo Broadway hit which likewise made megabucks, as did its signature song, "Tomorrow." Academy Award Nominations: 2, including Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Best Original Score.
OLIVER: A delightful musical version of Charles Dickens' tale of a young orphan who is introduced to a life of petty crime, adapted from the stage play version by Lionel Bart. Academy Award Nominations: 11, including Best Actor-Ron Moody, Best (Adapted) Screenplay. Academy Awards: 6, including Best Picture and Best Director.
