Michael Harrison and David Ian have announced that their smash hit production of the musical Annie will embark on a UK and Ireland tour, opening at New Wimbledon Theatre on Saturday 23 May 2026.
Set in 1930s New York during The Great Depression, Annie follows the story of a brave young girl forced to live a life of misery at Miss Hannigan’s orphanage.
Her fortunes change when she is chosen to spend Christmas with billionaire Oliver Warbucks, but Miss Hannigan has other plans to thwart Annie’s search for her true family.
This stunning production features a Tony Award-winning book and score, including the unforgettable songs “It’s the Hard Knock Life,” “Easy Street,” “I Don’t Need Anything But You,” and “Tomorrow.”
Annie has music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin, and a book by Thomas Meehan. It is directed by Curve’s Artistic Director Nikolai Foster.
The creative team also includes set and costume design by Colin Richmond, choreography by Nick Winston, lighting by Ben Cracknell, and sound design by Richard Brooker.
The production is licensed by Music Theatre International (MTI) and produced by Michael Harrison and David Ian.
