We love a good musical in Manchester, and none more so than the incomparable sensation Annie. Michael Harrison and David Ian have announced that their smash hit production of the musical Annie will embark on a UK and Ireland tour including dates at the Manchester Palace Theatre from Thursday 9 – Saturday 20 June 2026.
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 soon changes when she’s chosen to spend a fairytale Christmas with famous billionaire, Oliver Warbucks. Meanwhile, spiteful Miss Hannigan has other ideas and hatches a plan to spoil Annie’s search for her true family…
With its Tony award-winning book and score, this stunning production includes the unforgettable songs It’s the Hard Knock Life, Easy Street, I Don’t Need Anything But You and Tomorrow.
