"THE SUN WILL COME OUT TOMORROW!”


IT's A HARD KNOCK LIFE!
We are thrilled to bring Annie The Musical to the stage this November! One of the most beloved musicals of all time, Annie is packed with unforgettable characters, show-stopping numbers, and a heartwarming story of hope, resilience, and family. From the iconic “Tomorrow” to the high-energy “Hard Knock Life,” this production promises to be an incredible experience for both performers and audiences alike.
We are on the lookout for 30 talented girls to bring the world of Annie to life as the spirited orphans of Miss Hannigan’s orphanage. This is a fantastic opportunity for young female performers to take center stage in one of the most cherished musicals of all time!
​​
CAST ANNOUNCEMENT:
Firstly, we want to say a huge thank you to every young performer who auditioned for Annie the Musical. Over two big audition days, we saw an incredible 118 girls bring their energy, talent, and heart to our audition workshop.
​
With only 30 initial spots available, the casting process was incredibly tough. We were so impressed that we have made the decision to extend the cast to 33, welcoming three additional girls into the show. Even with this extension, it sadly means that 85 girls were not offered a role this time.
​
We know many of you will be feeling disappointed, and that’s completely understandable. Please know - you all did a fantastic job. Every single performer should be so proud of the work they brought to their audition.
​
Casting was not easy, and our choices came down to incredibly fine details. It’s never just about talent, it’s about the right combination of roles, voices, and characters for this particular show. Please feel free to read out guide on how to support your child on
​
To those who have been cast - congratulations! We are so excited to begin rehearsals with you. The first session kicks off Monday 28th April, and we can’t wait to get started.
​
The cast list for Annie will be revealed around 7pm Friday 11th of April
