Annie description

Annie is one of musical theatre's best-loved shows, and it's back in town.

The family musical Annie is set in New York City during the USA's Great Depression, a time when dust storms decimated crops, the entire country went broke, and thousands died of starvation. Against this grim setting, the young orphan Annie lives a miserable life thanks to the cruel Miss Hannigan, who runs the orphanage she's stuck in.

Annie dreams about a better tomorrow, as the famous song says, but will she make it happen? Annie hits the jackpot when the grumpy billionaire Oliver Warbucks decides to create a Christmas publicity stunt. As the pair searches for her parents, they become ever-closer. But Miss Hannigan is greedy and spiteful, determined to ruin things for the little girl.

A joyful, hopeful story of family, love and courage ensues, accompanied by beautiful music from Charles Strouse, lyrics from Martin Charnin and a book by Thomas Meehan. No wonder Annie has been produced on stage, revived so often, and turned into TV and movie adaptations.

This heart-warming adventure is full of songs you'll recognise, including It's the Hard Knock Life, Easy Street, I Don't Need Anything But You and, of course, the legendary Tomorrow. The magic is directed by Nikolai Foster, with set and costume design by Colin Richmond, choreography by Nick Winston, lighting by Ben Cracknell and sound design by Richard Brooker. It's produced by Michael Harrison and David Ian.

Annie tickets take you to a show with a Tony Award-winning book and score, a gorgeous plot, and a happy ending everyone loves. Go on, treat yourself!
