\n<\/p>\n

Multiple-time Emmy and Grammy Award winner Harry Connick Jr. has signed up to play Sir Oliver \u201cDaddy\u201d Warbucks in NBC\u2019s upcoming live production of Annie<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to have the opportunity to play Daddy Warbucks in Annie Live! and working alongside Taraji P. Henson is a dream come true,\u201d Connick said. \u201cI love this show, and its musical message of love and hope couldn\u2019t come at a better time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that the amazing Harry Connick Jr. is set to embody Daddy Warbucks, we look forward to shaping the iconic role to tap Harry\u2019s immense skill set as a multi-talented performer,\u201d said Jen Neal, Executive Vice President, Entertainment Live Events, Specials and E! News<\/a>, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. \u201cHe and Taraji P. Henson will anchor the rest of the cast and we can\u2019t wait to see their on-stage dynamic in our version of \u2018Annie.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Annie Live!<\/em> will air Thursday, December 2 on NBC and will be executive produced by Robert Greenblatt, Neil Meron and Alex Rudzinsky, with Lear deBessonet and Alex Rudzinski sharing the directing duties.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to have Harry Connick Jr. playing Daddy Warbucks,\u201d said Greenblatt. \u201cHe\u2019s a true entertainer who sings \u2014 and dances \u2014 with the best of them, and he will bring a completely fresh app<\/a>roach to this character. And he will give Taraji P. Henson\u2018s Miss Hannigan a run for her money for Annie!\u201d<\/p>\n

Annie<\/em>, which was based on the Harold Gray comic strip<\/a> \u201cLittle Orphan Annie\u201d that debuted in 1924, premiered on Broadway in 1977 and went on to become one of the most beloved musicals of all time.
