Photo Flash: Miranda Hart-Starring ANNIE Opens In The West End
Last night, Nikolai Foster's revival of Annie opened at the Piccadilly Theatre in London's West End. The production stars Miranda Hart as Miss Hannigan, Alex Bourne as Daddy Warbucks, Holly Dale Spencer as Grace Farrell, Jonny Fines as Rooster and Djalenga Scott as Lily.
The title role of Annie is shared by Madeleine Haynes, 13-years old from Hadley Wood, Barnet, Lola Moxom, 12-years old from Rochester, Kent andRuby Stokes, 12-years old from Hampshire. They're joined by three teams of young performers who will play the girls in Miss Hannigan's orphanage. Amber, a four-year-old Labradoodle, plays Annie's dog Sandy.
Set in 1930s New York during The Great Depression, brave young Annie is forced to live a life of misery and torment at Miss Hannigan's orphanage. Her luck changes when she is chosen to spend Christmas at the residence of famous billionaire, Oliver Warbucks. Meanwhile, spiteful Miss Hannigan has other ideas and hatches a plan to spoil Annie's search for her true family...
Celebrity guests included Alexandra Burke, Tom Ellis, Helen George, Sarah Hadland, Nigel Harman, Patricia Hodge, Gary Kemp, Strictly Come Dancing's Oti Mabuse, Bill Nighy, Graham Norton, John Partridge, Sally Phillips and David Walliams.
