Tasmania’s leader in live theatre and entertainment JOHN X PRESENTS is back in 2024 with a musical classic that has not been seen at the Theatre Royal in 20 years – Annie! Based on Little Orphan Annie, the popular comic strip by Harold Gray, Annie has become a worldwide sensation and is the perfect family-friendly musical.
Winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, the beloved show features a wonderful score written by Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, featuring iconic tunes such as It's the Hard-Knock Life, Easy Street, N.Y.C., and the eternally optimistic Tomorrow.
With a perfect combination of street-smarts and optimism, Annie warms the hearts of the audience as we witness her rise from next to nothing in New York City. She is determined to find her parents, who left her at the orphanage years ago. Though things don’t quite work out the way she has planned, she does manage to thwart the plans of the evil Miss Hannigan and find a new family with billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his secretary Grace Farrell, and her lovable pooch, Sandy.
Experience the enchanting story of Little Orphan Annie, now brought to life for a new era. This exhilarating musical is a true testament to the power of unwavering hope. Prepare to be captivated by one of Broadway's most memorable shows featuring some of Hobart’s brightest all-singing, all-dancing, up-and-coming performers.
Annie has garnered countless accolades and continues to hold a special place in the hearts of audiences worldwide.
Get ready for a heart-warming journey that will inspire and uplift like never before!
