A Welcome Return
Starring RuPaul's Drag Race and Strictly Come Dancing star La Voix and Claire Sweeney as Miss Hannigan*!
Leapin' lizards! Little Orphan Annie returns to the road in this glorious West End production to bring her sunshine personality to this brand new production. Heart-warming and dripping with charm and catchy songs, Annie has been an absolute classic since first appearing on stage in 1977, introducing audiences to the wyly red-head and her adventures as she sets out to find her real parents.
It's A Hard Knock Life - The Story Of Annie
Life is hard for Annie and the other orphans at the Hudson Street Orphanage in Depression-era New York City. Presided over by dastardly matron Miss Hannigan, fun is hard to find until one day her life is changed forever when Grace, the beautiful assistant of the enigmatic millionaire Oscar (Daddy) Warbucks, comes to ask for an orphan to stay at his mansion for the Christmas holidays. This begins a madcap caper as Annie's bright and shining personality begins to win over the crotchety businessman, teaching him the meaning of love, life, and looking on the bright side.
