LEADING South Coast theatre School Swish of the Curtain present their latest theatrical treat 'Annie' at Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre next week.

It’s 1933 and the indomitable Miss Hannigan is as resilient as ever and determined to ensure that the orphans earn their keep. However, Annie still clings on to the hope that the silver locket she keeps around her neck will hold the key to being reunited with her real parents one day, Maybe…

Even Annie’s escape and subsequent race through the back streets of New York City with the cuddly mutt, Sandy, fail to dampen her optimistic spirits about what Tomorrow might hold.

It’s not until the New York billionaire, Oliver Warbucks, decides to treat one lucky homeless child to a lavish Christmas surprise at his mansion that the truth about Annie’s family is finally revealed. They now just need to outwit the Hannigans and their master plan to ensure that Annie Won’t be an Orphan for long!

Trapped in a municipal orphanage after being dumped on its doorstep as a baby, Annie has had a pretty ‘Hard Knock Life’ so far.

Join orphan Annie, her four-legged friend, Sandy and the vibrant team of naughty-ish(!) orphans. Watch them act, dance and sing their way through this magical musical journey, plotting their uprising against orphanage supervisor, Miss Hannigan and her henchmen – just in time for Christmas.

With a stunning set, live orchestra and hugely talented and energetic cast – this family musical promises to entertain young and old alike and prove that sometimes it pays to be a little bit naughty!

The show runs from Thursday February 16- Sunday February 19.
