However, her fortunes take an unexpected turn when she is selected to spend a magical Christmas with the renowned billionaire, Oliver Warbucks. But as Annie embarks on her quest to find her true family, Miss Hannigan's vindictive nature rears its ugly head, and she schemes to disrupt Annie's fairytale journey.

Never Fully Dressed Without a Syal
My Hart was in my mouth when I watched Miranda take a turn as Miss Hannigan. I Revelled in watching a 6’2 man in drag when Craig Revel-Horwood had a short residency at the Piccadilly. Now bringing another perspective to Annie, running until 18 February 2018 is the delightful Meera Syal fully at home in the character of Miss Hannigan.

REVIEW: Annie "a night of music, love and beautiful dancing"
Seated in the surprisingly comfortable plush seats of the Royal Circle in the Piccadilly Theatre, I was very impressed by the intricate stage design, striking me as almost an echo of the current Matilda set. With two shows currently being performed on the West End, heavily featuring younger performers, I was hoping Annie would stand its ground.

Let's Hear it for the Kids!
Children have always been a huge part of theatre, but I think it is now safe to say that their talent and enthusiasm is slowly dominating the West End, and with good reason too.
Currently in the West End, we have maggots, orphans, rock stars, lions cubs and mini MJs. Along with touring ballerinas and the plucky pickpocketers opening this summer at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre – I think the loudest song needs to go to the children who are smashing these West End productions, night after night.
