I have to admit i went into this show completely blind, the only thing i knew was the song Its a Hard-Knock LifeAnnie The Musical is a heartwarming and uplifting show that tells the story of a brave and optimistic orphan girl who dreams of finding her parents. Along the way, she meets a lovable dog named Sandy, a billionaire businessman named Oliver Warbucks, and his kind secretary Grace Farrell. She also has to deal with the cruel and scheming Miss Hannigan, who runs the orphanage where Annie lives. With catchy songs, colourful characters, and a message of hope and love, Annie The Musical is a classic musical that appeals to audiences of all ages.
There is plenty of emotional scenes. I almost cried in the scene where Oliver was going to tell Annie about his plans to adopt her but she just wanted to find her real parents.
Craig Revel Horwood was absolutely amazing as Miss Hannigan. His singing and dancing perfection! But the standout of the show was Sandy the Dog. Even though only the stage for a few scenes he stole the scenes! Wish my dog was as well trained!
The young girl playing Annie, Harlie Barthram, was amazing. The moment she was on stage to the end she delivered her performance with precision. She will 100% be going on the West end in the future!
The show is currently touring around the UK. If it visits a Theatre near you I highly recommend going to see it!
