About Annie

Set in 1932, the height of the depression, and tells the outrageously funny story of a spunky redheaded orphan who escapes an orphanage searching for her parents but sadly is caught and returned. Her luck changes, as billionaire Oliver Warbucks invites Annie to his house for Christmas and the two hit it off and Annie wins his heart. is an all time family favourite. Some of the hit songs from the show are "It's a Hard Knock Life" and the well known hit, "Tomorrow". Of course there is the happy ending with Daddy Warbucks adopting adorable Annie and her dog Sandy.  This is the pefect family musical that will have you excited about the possibilities of "tomorrow".

About Thoroughly Modern Millie

A high-spirited musical romp that has all of New York dancing the Charleston. It is the story of a small-town girl, Millie Dillmount, who comes to New York City in 1922 at the height of the Wall Street boom. She bobs her hair, assumes the modern look of a "flapper," and is determined to marry for money instead of love - a thoroughly modern aim in 1922, when women were just entering the workforce. The show is filled with great songs, fabulous dance numbers, and of course, a great love story.
