The Annie UK Tour is back in 2019 with Anita Dobson, Craig Revel Horwood and Lesley Joseph sharing the role of Miss Hannigan. See the tour schedule for Annie the musical UK tour below.
Following a successful season in London’s West End, the Annie UK Tour will commence at the Manchester Opera House on 9 February 2019.
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. Determined to find her real parents, her luck changes when she is chosen to spend Christmas at the residence of famous billionaire, Oliver Warbucks. Spiteful Miss Hannigan has other ideas and hatches a plan to spoil Annie’s search…
The score includes musical theatre classics including It’s A Hard Knock Life, Tomorrow, Easy Street, and You’re Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile.
This ‘glorious revival’ (The Times) stars award-winning actress Anita Dobson (Manchester – Bradford), Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood (Southampton – Milton Keynes) or Lesley Joseph (Birds Of A Feather) as the tyrannical Miss Hannigan!
Joining the previously announced Anita Dobson and Craig Revel Horwood who both star as ‘Miss Hannigan’ (Anita will play the role from 2 February – 27 April 2019 and Craig will play the role from 30 April – 6 July 2019) will be Alex Bourne as ‘Oliver Warbucks’, Richard Meek as ‘Rooster’, Jenny Gayner as ‘Lily’ and Carolyn Maitland as ‘Grace Farrell’. The title role of ‘Annie’ is shared by Faye Katsande, Ava Smith and Freya Yates. They are joined by three teams of young performers who play the girls in Miss Hannigan’s orphanage.
Completing the cast will be Michael Anderson, Thomas Audibert, Andy Barke, Caroline Bateson, Daisy Boyles, Blaise Colangelo, Gary Davis, Ashleigh Graham, George Rae, Anne Smith, India Thornton, Matt Trevorrow, Amy West and Samuel Wilson Freeman.
Annie has music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin and a book by Thomas Meehan.
Annie is directed by Nikolai Foster, sets and costumes designed by Colin Richmond, choreography by Nick Winston, lighting by Ben Cracknell and sound design by Richard Brooker.
