Album Notes Principal cast includes: Andrea McArdle (Annie), Dorothy Loudon (Miss Hannigan), Reid Shelton (Daddy Warbucks). Recorded at Columbia 30th Street Studio, New York, New York on April 25, 1977. Includes liner notes by Thomas Meehan and Martin Charnin. Composer: Charles Strouse. Lyricist: Martin Charnin. The cast recording from the original 1977 musical ANNIE, with music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Martin Charnin, is one of the biggest-selling Broadway recordings, thanks in large part to instant standards like "Tomorrow" (a showcase ballad for star Andrea McArdle) and the bouncy "It's a Hard-Knock Life" (later somewhat improbably sampled by Jay-Z for one of his biggest hits).
