The original production of "Annie" opened on Broadway on April 21, 1977 and went on to win seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book (Thomas Meehan) and Best Score (Charles Strouse, Martin Charnin).
The show includes classic songs like "Tomorrow," "Hard Knock Life" and "Easy Street."
Vogel said it's a dream role of hers.
