The timeless story of a little girl with a big heart, the much-loved musical Annie is based on Harold Gray's comic strip Little Orphan Annie, and quickly made its way into people's hearts after premiering on Broadway in 1977.

One of Australia's greatest theatrical talents, Anthony Warlow - fresh from his Helpmann Award-nominated role in Doctor Zhivago - will star as New York 'zillionaire' Daddy Warbucks in an all-new production of Annie, alongside familiar faces Nancye Hayes, Todd McKenney, and - in the most unlikely piece of casting since Colin Farrell played Alexander the Great - right-wing Sydney shock-jock Alan Jones as left-wing US President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Chock-full of such popular hits as 'Tomorrow' and 'It's the Hard Knock Life', Annie, this optimistic crowd-pleaser is sure to be a box office smash.
