From NYC to York – this February, York Light Opera Company are bringing the feel-good family musical Annie to York Theatre Royal.
Last performed by the company 25 years ago, this heartwarming tale is packed with unforgettable songs like Tomorrow, Hard Knock Life, and You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile.
Annie is at York Theatre Royal from Thursday 12 to Saturday 21 February.
Kathryn Addison, assistant director said, “This production of Annie places special emphasis on the young performers who are the soul of the show.
“Through the casting process, the orphan casting for two teams of young people was developed first, fostering strong connections, confidence and ensemble storytelling before the final roles were assigned.
“Our energetic cast of young performers are joined by experienced adult performers, and a creative team committed to storytelling. Annie promises to deliver a heartfelt and joyful theatrical experience for audiences of all ages.”
The show is set to star Annabel van Griethuysen as Miss Hannigan, as well as a cast of 38 others who will be bringing the fabulous characters to life – including Harriet Wells and Hope Day as Annie, Neil Wood as Mr. Warbucks, Sarah Craggs as Grace Farrell, Martin Lay as Rooster and Chloe Jones as Lily St. Regis.
Tickets start from £15 and are available via the York Theatre Royal website.
