Which U.S. President appears as a character in the musical Annie?
John F. Kennedy
Abraham Lincoln
Herbert Hoover
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The musical Annie unfolds against the backdrop of Depression-era New York City. Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks, a wealthy industrialist, travels to Washington, to meet President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In his capacity as President, Roosevelt aids Warbucks in the search for Annie’s parents while also seeking Warbucks’ support for the ambitious New Deal, a plan Warbucks initially dismisses as preposterous. Annie ultimately inspires Roosevelt and “Daddy” Warbucks to embrace the vision of the New Deal by serenading them with the uplifting anthem “Tomorrow.”
Correct Answer: Franklin D. Roosevelt
