One underwhelmed critic described the show as "Oliver in drag," but audiences from New York to London have adored this musical based on the '30s Little Orphan Annie comic strip.

Last week, in an 11th-hour decision, retiring South African Prime Minister John Vorster announced that South Africa would conduct its own independence election in the territory, rather than allow U.N. troops and civilian personnel to supervise the election of a transitional Namibian government...
