About This Event

Set in 1930s New York during the Great Depression, *Annie* recounts the story of a spirited young orphan who refuses to let her circumstances break her spirit. Forced to endure the cruel regime of Miss Hannigan’s orphanage, Annie’s luck changes when she is taken in by the enigmatic billionaire Oliver Warbucks. The production at the Regent Theatre on 13 October 2026 uses its live staging to amplify the contrast between the grit of the orphanage and the warmth of Warbucks’s mansion. A full company of performers brings the familiar songs and the story’s emotional weight to the stage, capturing both the harshness of the era and the resilience of its heroine. The set design and choreography work in tandem to evoke the bleakness of Depression-era streets, while the lavish interiors of Warbucks’s home offer a striking counterpoint. Through its ensemble cast, the show underscores the themes of hope and perseverance that have made *Annie* a beloved classic, ensuring that the audience feels every note of triumph and hardship as the young orphan’s journey unfolds.
