The 1999 show won a Tony for best revival of a musical, and Peters won for best actress in a musical. There are recordings for the 1946 original cast production, and the 1966 and 1999 revivals. The 1999 album won a Tony for best musical recording. In 2001 Reba McEntire took over the role of Annie to great acclaim. Top
