Annie

Riverside Theatres, Parramatta  ( Riverside Theatre )

7 - 22 February 2014


Leapin' Lizards! Little Orphan Annie is hitting the Riverside Theatre stage in one of the world's best-loved musicals.

With equal measures of pluck and positivity, Annie charms everyone's hearts, despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930's New York City. She is determined to find her parents, who abandoned her on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage, run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan, played by the sensational Amanda Muggleton (Prisoner, Hello Dolly, Shirley Valentine).

With the help of the other girls in the Orphanage, Annie escapes to the wondrous and magical world of NYC where she meets billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy. Musical theatre star Rodney Dobson (Wicked, Miss Saigon, The Full Monty) will be playing the charismatic and sophisticated New York 'zillionaire'  Oliver 'Daddy' Warbucks. Song and dance man, Christopher Horsey (Hot Shoe Shuffle, Bootmen, Singin' in The Rain) will play the charismatic conman Rooster.

Boasting a classic Broadway score with hit song after hit song including Tomorrow, It's The Hard Knock Life, Maybe and Little Girls, ANNIE is a spectacular production that will delight audiences of all ages.

Reviews

"Little Orphan Annie (Stella Barahona) is as plucky as ever, charming and charmingly abrasive. When she escapes the orphanage and awful Miss Hannigan (Amanda Muggleton, clearly having the time of her life), we root for her, and when she gets out to visit with Oliver Warbucks, we're thrilled for her." - Theatre People 

"You'd need to have a heart of stone not to love this Annie. And heart is something Packemin's joyous production has in trumps." - Stage Whispers 

"The featured orphans are all capable young performers – their solo dialogue and musical lines can so easily be lost, but the projection and delivery of all these girls was excellent.... The members of the bigger orphan ensemble shine with high energy, enthusiasm and an obvious sense of delight at being on stage." - Stage Whispers
