JUST SOME OF THE SPECTACULAR MOMENTS FROM OUR MUSICAL
'ANNIE JR'
|
Based on the popular comic strip and adapted from the Tony Award-winning Best Musical, 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. We have a fantastic cast of over 40 children from 4th, 5th and 6th class who are going to entertain you in this cheeky, fun-filled, family-friendly show.
