The Liverpool Empire audience was on their feet for a well-deserved standing ovation for the cast of Annie.
The ultimate comfort musical is currently touring the UK and this week, it is the city’s turn to indulge in the all-singing, all-dancing extravaganza. It is a hard knock life but Nikolai Foster’s Annie certainly makes it better.
At this stage, I think it’s fair to say everyone is familiar with the story of Annie. But yet, this revival had a modern twist which still had me hooked and falling in love with each and every character - even, surprisingly, Craig Revel Horwood’s alcohol-loving, child-hating Miss Hannigan.
