Annie, 26th to 29th September, 19:30 and 14:30 on Saturday
Based on the popular comic strip, Annie tells the extraordinary story of a little orphan who ends up in the lap of luxury with Depression-era billionaire Oliver Warbucks. Unlike most of the other children at Miss Hannigan’s orphanage, spunky Annie believes that her parents are still alive and will one day return to claim her. So when Mr Warbucks offers to adopt her, she asks the most powerful man in America to help find her real mom and dad instead, and he agrees. Warbucks’ whopping reward for finding Annie’s parents attracts the attention of con artists Rooster, Lily and the wicked Miss Hannigan, who hatch a plot to kidnap Annie and take the $50,000 reward. Featuring songs such as Maybe, Little Girls, You’re Never Fully Dressed and Tomorrow, this is a show not to be missed and will have you leaving the theatre humming (and singing) these classics tunes. A Reading Operatic Society production.
