* CutSong: There were several, featured as bonus tracks on the Original Broadway Cast Album:
** "Apples": An opening number highlighting the Depression era setting, with several apple sellers on the street singing about how they used to be rich. This was cut because it delayed Annie's introduction too long; its sentiments were transferred into "We'd Like to Thank You, Herbert Hoover."
** "We Got Annie": Sung by the customers at the beanery where Annie works about how much they love her. This was cut after the plot line of Annie working at the beanery was cut, but it was reinstated for [[Film/Annie1982 the 1982 film]] and in later stage productions too (including the Creator/{{NBC}} telecast), sung by Warbucks' staff instead.
** "Just Wait": The original version of "Little Girls," with the then-named Miss Asthma singing to Annie about the sadistic ways she'll punish her after she's brought back to the orphanage.
** "That's the Way It Goes": Sung by Miss Asthma and her brother Al (Rooster), complaining about how the rich always get richer while the poor get poorer; later replaced by the more upbeat "Easy Street."
** "The Parents": A comic number at the Warbucks mansion with several couples of different ethnicities trying to pass themselves off as Annie's parents.
** "I've Never Been So Happy": A solo for Annie where she frantically tries to convince herself she's happy that the "Mudges" are her parents; this was replaced by the "Maybe" reprise.
** "Apples": An opening number highlighting the Depression era setting, with several apple sellers on the street singing about how they used to be rich. This was cut because it delayed Annie's introduction too long; its sentiments were transferred into "We'd Like to Thank You, Herbert Hoover."
