With a Tony award-winning book by Thomas Meehan, music by Charles Strouse, and lyrics by Martin Charnin, Annie follows the spirited orphan girl who lives in a New York City orphanage during the Great Depression. Determined to find her birth parents, Annie’s life changes when she’s taken in by the wealthy businessman Oliver Warbucks. The show includes unforgettable songs, including ‘It’s the Hard Knock Life’, ‘Easy Street’, ‘I Don’t Need Anything But You’ and ‘Tomorrow’.

It is directed by Curve’s Artistic Director Nikolai Foster, who also directs Kinky Boots, which is coming to London this Spring. The creative team is completed by set and costume designer Colin Richmond, choreographer Nick Winston, lighting designer Ben Cracknell and sound designer Richard Brooker.

A beloved production with audiences of all ages, the musical made its West End debut at the Victoria Palace Theatre in 1978. Subsequent productions have taken place across the world, with the last touring production in the UK taking place three years ago.
