Set in 1930s New York during The Great Depression, brave young Annie is forced to live a life of misery and torment at Miss Hannigan’s orphanage.

Her luck soon changes when she’s chosen to spend a fairytale Christmas with famous billionaire, Oliver Warbucks. Meanwhile, spiteful Miss Hannigan has other ideas and hatches a plan to spoil Annie’s search for her true family…

Annie’s Tony award-winning book and score, with music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin and a book by Thomas Meehan includes such favourites as It’s the Hard Knock Life, Easy Street, I Don’t Need Anything But You and, of course, Tomorrow.

The touring production is directed by the Curve’s Artistic Director Nikolai Foster with set and costume design by Colin Richmond, choreography by Nick Winston, lighting by Ben Cracknell and sound design by Richard Brooker.
