This new production features the A-list of Australian musical theatre talent – Anthony Warlow reprising one of his favourite roles, Nancye Hayes putting her mark on the role of the mean Miss Hannigan, and Todd McKenney, Chloe Dallimore and Julie Goodwin who are the cream of Australian talent.” Radio veteran Alan Jones will also tour with the production in the role of President Roosevelt, but it is understood that the role of Annie will be shared by 3 different young girls in each city.  “You can bet your bottom dollar Annie will also be a hit in Brisbane in 2012!”, said Frost.   Annie is full of toe-tapping hits such as It’s the Hard Knock Life, Easy Street, You’re Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile, NYC, Maybe and everyone’s favourite song – Tomorrow.
