Based on the popular comic strip and adapted from the Tony Award-winning Best Musical, with a beloved book and score by Tony Award-winners, Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, Annie JR. features everyone’s favourite little redhead in her very first adventure.
With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone's hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. Annie is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of an orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. Annie eventually foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations, finding a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.
Filled with outlandish characters, adventure galore and an upbeat score including 'It's a Hard-Knock Life', 'Easy Street' and of course 'Tomorrow', this is not one to miss!
'Annie JR' is being performed as part of our Junior, Ages 7-11 Weekly Theatre Academy classes on a Monday and Thursday. You can find out how to join the cast by clicking here.
