The Musical Annie Comes to Theatre Royal

The most famous feisty redheaded orphan makes her appearance in Scotland when Annie hits the stage at Theatre Royal. Su Pollard, of Hi-De-Hi and Two Up, Two Down fame, takes on the role of Miss Hannigan, the boozy, hapless caretaker of Annie and her fellow orphans. Much loved songs, such as "Tomorrow" and "It's a Hard Knock Life," will be featured. Students from Glasgow's Star Struck Theatre Academy will provide rousing backup as Annie's friends.

Annie is centered on the plight of a little girl who's made miserable in an orphanage. When she's selected to live a week in the lap of luxury with zillionaire Daddy Warbucks for a publicity stunt, her fate changes forever as she worms her way into the businessman's heart. Her journey out of the orphanage is filled with trials and songs.

Pollard has performed as Miss Hannigan before when she came to Glasgow in 2004. According to her web site www.supollard.co.uk, she had planned a cast lunch at the Kelvingrove Museum but had to cancel when she found out it was closed for renovation. Now that the Kelvingrove has been reopened and renovated, hopefully she'll get a chance to visit one of the top cultural attractions in Europe.

A perfect musical for the family!
