SEAFORD Musical Theatre performers are bringing one of the world’s best-loved musicals Annie to the Barn Theatre, Seaford, as part of its 90th anniversary celebrations.

Young actresses Evie Heal and Darcey Puttock-West are sharing the role of the feisty orphan girl with Mandy Crnkovic playing the man-hungry, wicked Miss Hannigan.

Lee Johnson takes on the role of Daddy Warbucks, a role made famous by Albert Finney in the 1982 film, with the supporting roles of Grace, Rooster and Lily being played by Jo Salter, Dan Kerry and Natalie Steel.

Annie’s friends in the orphanage are being performed by two teams of girls from the award-winning junior section of Seaford Musical Theatre.

Director Tony Betts said: “I’m delighted to see that tickets are selling out so fast for our 90th anniversary show.

“The collaboration of the adult and junior section of the theatre has been a joy to direct and when they say don’t work with children or animals, they obviously haven’t met our wonderful canine performer Spirit who is playing Sandy the dog.”

The show starts on Friday, September 22, and runs over two weekends.

For tickets go to www.ticketsource.co.uk/thebarntheatre or from the Tourist Information Centre, Seaford, during office hours.

Seaford Musical Theatres stages three adult shows and two junior shows each year.

New members are always welcome and there are many opportunities to perform on stage or help out behind the scenes.

The Barn Theatre is also home to the very popular Seaford Community Cinema, a volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation that relies on a team of volunteers and public support.
