Annie — Official Performance Recordings

City of Lights Theatre & Cabaret's second full-scale musical, recorded live on stage at Aurora University's Perry Theater in Aurora, Illinois, is now available to watch anytime.

Annie was double-cast for this July–August 2026 run, and this collection lets you watch both young performers make the role their own — plus go behind the curtain on closing night.

This collection includes three videos:
• ANNIE — Elena Caldarola as Annie (full performance)
• ANNIE — Mishka Pattanayak as Annie (full performance)
• Behind the Scenes — closing-night bonus footage

From the New York Municipal Orphanage to Warbucks's mansion on Fifth Avenue, join Annie, Oliver Warbucks, Miss Hannigan, Rooster, Sandy, and a cast of local artists for the timeless story of hope, optimism, and found family — featuring "Maybe," "It's the Hard Knock Life," "Tomorrow," "Easy Street," "N.Y.C.," and "A New Deal for Christmas," staged with a thoughtful Monopoly-inspired design.
