Get ready, Melbourne! The beloved Broadway sensation “Annie” is opening at the iconic Princess Theatre this Thursday, 10 July 2025, promising an unforgettable theatrical experience filled with heart, hope, and timeless tunes.
The stellar cast features some of the brightest names in musical theatre today. Leading the charge is the legendary Anthony Warlow, stepping into the role of Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks with his commanding presence and rich voice. Debora Krizak brings a perfect blend of mischief and humour as the formidable Miss Hannigan.
Adding fresh energy to the show are rising stars Mackenzie Dunn as the cunning Lily St. Regis and Keanu Gonzalez as the sly “Rooster” Hannigan.

The heart of the show, the spirited and lovable Annie, will be portrayed by three gifted young performers—Dakota Chanel, Isabella Hayden, and Lilleth McIntosh—who will share the titular role with charm and talent.
Annie is a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences worldwide. With its unforgettable score featuring classics like “It’s the Hard-Knock Life,” “Easy Street,” and the hopeful anthem “Tomorrow,” the musical’s songs have become anthems of resilience and optimism.
The show’s book and score were crafted by Tony Award winners Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse, and Martin Charnin, whose work has made Annie a beloved fixture on stages from Broadway to Melbourne.
