FEEL-GOOD family musical classic Annie will no doubt be delighting Costa Almeria audiences of all ages when the show hits the stage at Roquetas de Mar’s Teatro Auditorio next month. The spectacular production comes to the Costa Almeria venue following five highly successful seasons in Madrid, and with a formula not yet seen in Spain. Unforgettable uplifting songs like ‘Tomorrow’, amazing scenery and lighting effects transporting the audience to 1930s New York, and outstanding performances add up to great entertainment. Originally a Broadway musical, the show is based on the Harold Gray comic strip ‘Little Orphan Annie’. It tells the story of a little girl with a mop of curly red hair who lives in an orphanage run by the horrible Miss Hannighan, who dreams her parents will one day come to find her. When Annie is chosen to spend Christmas in the mansion of millionaire Mr Warbucks she manages to win his heart, and after all sorts of adventures he and his future adopt wife her, changing all their lives forever. The heartwarming musical first opened no less than 43 years ago and initially ran for nearly six years. Since there have been a whole bunch of tours and productions outside the US There will be two performances in Roquetas at family-friendly times: 5pm on Saturday February 8 and 12 midday on Sunday February 9.
