York Light Opera Company returns to York Theatre Royal with feel good favourite Annie for a limited run this February.
The musical runs from 12 to 21 February in the Main House, marking the company’s first staging of the show in 25 years. Packed with classics including Tomorrow, Hard Knock Life and You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile, this uplifting story of hope and belonging is set to charm audiences of all ages.
Audiences can expect vibrant choreography, striking costumes and a full live band supporting a large cast of local performers.
Kathryn Addison, Assistant Director, said, “This production of Annie places special emphasis on the young performers who are the soul of the show. Through the casting process, the orphan casting for two teams of young people was developed first, fostering strong connections, confidence and ensemble storytelling before the final roles were assigned. Our energetic cast of young performers are joined by experienced adult performers, and a creative team committed to storytelling. Annie promises to deliver a heartfelt and joyful theatrical experience for audiences of all ages.”
Annabel van Griethuysen stars as Miss Hannigan, alongside Harriet Wells and Hope Day as Annie. Neil Wood appears as Mr. Warbucks, with Sarah Craggs as Grace Farrell, Martin Lay as Rooster and Chloe Jones as Lily St. Regis. A further 38 cast members complete the company.
Tickets for this family favourite start from £15.
