Annie
Newcastle Theatre Royal
Tuesday 4 – Saturday 8 August 2026
Producers Michael Harrison and David Ian have announced that their smash hit production of Annie will pull into Newcastle Theatre Royal this August as part of its tour of the UK and Ireland, with Claire Sweeney starring as Miss Hannigan.
Set in 1930s New York during the Great Depression, the show follows brave young Annie, forced to endure a miserable life at Miss Hannigan's orphanage. Her luck changes when she's chosen to spend a fairytale Christmas with billionaire Oliver Warbucks — but spiteful Miss Hannigan has other plans, and hatches a scheme to derail Annie's search for her true family.
This Tony award-winning production features one of musical theatre's best-loved scores, including It's the Hard Knock Life, Easy Street, I Don't Need Anything But You and Tomorrow.
Annie has music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin and a book by Thomas Meehan. It is directed by Curve's Artistic Director Nikolai Foster, with set and costume design by Colin Richmond, choreography by Nick Winston, lighting by Ben Cracknell and sound design by Richard Brooker. The production is produced by Michael Harrison and David Ian, and this tour is licensed by Music Theatre International (MTI).
