The timeless tale of little orphan Annie is back at Blackpool’s Grand Theatre from Tuesday 22nd November to Saturday 26th November starring Su Pollard as Miss Hannigan accompanied by a West End company of 40!
The story of Annie, a gutsy 11 year old orphan with a heart of gold, has become a family favourite all over the world since opening in 1976. It’s back to give a whole new generation the chance to experience this enchanting musical about never giving up hope – which was an important message of November’s National Adoption Week.
Since launching in 1997, National Adoption Week has gone from strength to strength, reaching people all across the UK wanting to know if they can adopt.
National Adoption Week is hugely important in reminding people about the difference adoption can make to a child’s life. It is a chance to transform a child’s life for ever, just like Daddy Warbucks does in Annie. Information on fostering and adoption from Blackpool Council will be available from the Grand Theatre during the show week.
Set in New York City during the Depression Annie lives at the Municipal Home for Girls under the ‘care’ of the cruel and crooked Miss Hannigan. Determined to find her real parents she is taken in one Christmas by billionaire Oliver Warbucks. Adventure after fun-filled adventure follows as Annie foils the plans of Miss Hannigan and her dastardly brother Rooster, who are plotting to get their hands on Warbucks’ money.
Winner of no less than 9 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and boasting one of musical theatre’s most memorable scores including It’s A Hard-Knock Life, Easy Street and the much loved, Tomorrow, Annie is a classic tale of rags to riches filled with visually stunning choreography and a laugh out loud script.
Don’t miss this heart-warming story of one little girl’s journey to find her family.
