Strictly Come Dancing judge, theatre director and choreographer Meera Syal returns to the role of the horrible Miss Hannigan for a limited 10-week season, following huge success with the UK tour. Nikolai Foster’s hit version of popular Broadway musical Annie plays at the West End’s Piccadilly Theatre until February 2018.

Based on the comic strip Little Orphan Annie, the smash-hit musical takes place in 1930’s New York and follows the story of Annie, who lives with a group of charming orphans in Miss Hannigan’s tormenting orphanage. Ordered about each day, Annie is determined to one day find her real family. When she’s plucked from the orphanage to spend Christmas with famous billionaire, Oliver Warbucks, Annie’s life begins to change.

Featuring a well-known score with music and lyrics by Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, Annie includes songs such as “Maybe”, “It’s a Hard Knock Life”, “Tomorrow” and “I Don’t Need Anything But You”. Last seen in the West End in 1998 at the Victoria Palace Theatre, this famed musical comes into London for the first time in nineteen years!
