An unforgettable story of the triumph of a positive attitude and a little girl’s feisty spirit.
Drama Buzz was founded by some theatre loving families in 2009 to give children a theatre experience. The group consists of 60+ children between 10 and 18 and a few younger siblings. Annie JR is their 9th musical production since inception, and is coming to the Roodepoort theatre for seven shows only.
This year, the experienced team of actors and actresses bring the story of Annie, an extraordinary little orphan, to life. Unlike the other orphans in Miss Hannigan’s depression-era orphanage, Annie believes that her parents are still alive and will someday return to take her home. So, when Mr Warbucks, the most powerful man in America, offers to adopt her, she asks him to help her find her parents instead. Warbucks’ reward for information on Annie’s family attracts the attention of some con artists who hatch a plot to kidnap Annie to get the reward. Follow her story to its final happy conclusion for both Annie and Daddy Warbucks.
Annie JR features many of the same songs as the movie version including Easy Street, Tomorrow, NYC, and Hard Knock Life. The cast of characters are all experienced, many having been in previous Drama Buzz productions over the past 9 years.
Tickets are R85 per person, discount available on weekday morning shows @ R65 per ticket if 10 or more seats are booked together. Book all tickets online, the discount will be applied on 10+ seats on weekdays at checkout.
