Musical girl (5)

I believe the answer is:

annie

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'musical' is the first definition.
(Annie is a Broadway musical)

'girl' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for annie that I've seen before include "Miss Laurie" , "Musical inspired by comic strip" , "Oakley, Laurie or Hall" , "Inane (anag) - girl (with a gun?)" , "-- Oakley (Wild West)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The Daily Express and The Telegraph.
