4d 29s stripped off in Tony winning show. Answer turns out to be Annie which is apparently a musical that I'd never heard of that won a Tony which is an award I'd never heard of . 29a is "Supplier of milk turns out small bottles" to which the answer was "wet nurse". How do we get from wet nurse to annie, please?

It says 29s, which would be "wet nurses", which are also "nannies", so it would be nannies with the outside letters removed

Of course. I’m not defending the clue, just explaining the apparent thinking behind it. To nanny is one of the definitions of “wet-nurse” in Chambers
