Chanhassen Dinner Theatres Revives Annie for the Holidays
Chanhassen Dinner Theatres is staging Annie again, with performances scheduled through the holiday season. The musical returns to the venue's Main Stage after 22 years.
With Annie returning to Chanhassen Dinner Theatres’ Main Stage, the holiday season gains a familiar musical option at a venue known for pairing dining with live performance. The production’s run is scheduled through the holidays, and its return comes 22 years after it last appeared on that stage. For the theater, the revival represents a seasonal programming choice that leans on a well-known title; for audiences, it offers a chance to see the show in a dinner-theater format during a festive time of year.
The revival could give holiday-season audiences another live entertainment option, potentially drawing families and theatergoers to the venue. It may also support the local performing arts community by extending a familiar musical’s presence in the seasonal calendar. For those who recall earlier productions, the 22-year gap may add nostalgic appeal. The impact is likely modest and localized, shaped by ticket demand and the venue’s ability to attract audiences during a busy time of year.
