The Observer home

“The energy unleashed into the auditorium by the show's 19 pint-sized performers is almost as terrifying as it is exhilarating. Attacking their dorm with mops and dusters in the musical's first big number, "It's a Hard Knock Life", they simultaneously purge the auditorium of any cheesy adjectives usually attached to youngsters on stage. Cutesy, adorable, winsome? Never! Precise, professional, entertaining? That's them! First among equals is stunning Sophie Downham as Annie, the ever-optimistic foundling who wins the heart of a crusty billionaire”
