Little orphan Annie is coming to town.

Su Pollard stars as dastardly Miss Hannigan and David McAlister is billionaire businessman Daddy Warbucks (pictured right) in the popular family musical.

The heartwarming rags-to-riches story follows Annie’s adventure from gin-soaked Miss Hannigan’s orphanage to the luxurious home of Oliver Warbucks.

First seen on stage in 1976, the show boasts a witty script and a memorable score, including such numbers as It’s A Hard Knock Life, Easy Street and the big showstopper, Tomorrow.

* Annie runs at the Alhambra from August 24 to 28. For tickets, ring (01274) 432000.
