Set during The Great Depression in 1930s New York, brave young Annie is forced to live a life of misery and torment at Miss Hannigan’s orphanage.

Determined to find her real parents, her luck changes when she is chosen to spend Christmas at the residence of famous billionaire, **Oliver Warbucks**.

Spiteful Miss Hannigan, meanwhile, has other ideas and hatches a plan to spoil Annie’s search.

This stunning new production includes the unforgettable songs Hard Knock Life, Easy Street, I Don’t Need Anything But You and Tomorrow.

Before his stint as a *Strictly Come Dancing* Judge, Craig performed in and choreographed many acclaimed West End shows.

**His West End theatre credits include:** Munkustrap in *Cats* at the New London Theatre, *Miss Saigon* at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane and Harry in *Crazy For You* at the Prince Edward Theatre which took him to the US and Germany before re-creating the show for **Susan Stroman** in South Africa.
