Of course, not every little girl can be Annie, but the production has been well balanced to allow for solo lines and moments to shine. The kids do not get off lightly with easier versions! And yet each and every child tackles the singing with aplomb. If you have seen Annie playing in the West End this year you will recognise the songs, because everything in this Jr. The script is a cut-down version of the tony-award winning musical, but though it is cut down in length it is not lacking in spirit, in plot, or in challenges. The three teams of children each have two performances this week to show off all their hard-work to their families and friends, appreciation that has been hard earned by the children and Dramacube’s creative team. Their Christmas production this year is no exception. Over the last two and a half years, Dramacube has brought young talent (7-14 years) from across Richmond borough – and now Kingston – to the HHT stage, with a touch of creative flair and professionalism. But tonight, it is time for the children to show the grown-ups how heart-warming Christmas theatre is done. You maybe have already seen some Christmas pantos this season, traditionally for the children. With Christmas just around the corner, there is an infectiously feel-good atmosphere at HHT as mince pies are munched and hot chocolates sipped on.
The story of downtrodden little orphan Annie, who is gifted with the opportunity to stay with a self-made millionaire for Christmas and finds the chance of a new, happier life, is a story we all know and love but seeing these little stars shine in Annie Jr, a Dramacube production, is a Christmas treat we can all enjoy! Lyrics by Martin Charmin, score by Charles Strouse Dramacube Productions at Hampton Hill Theatre until 23rd December Showing the Grown-Ups How it’s Done Annie Jr.
