THE world’s favourite orphan is back. Annie, the heart-warming rags-to-riches musical starring Hi-De-Hi television legend Su Pollard, visits the Lighthouse Poole from October 4 – 8.

The show is sure to be one of the many highlights of the venue’s soon-to-be-announced new autumn season.

Star of stage and screen, Su Pollard, who became a household name playing chalet maid Peggy in BBC1’s long-running comedy series Hi-De-Hi, reprises her role as the dastardly Miss Hannigan and David McAlister (Hollyoaks and Eastenders) makes a welcome return as the billionaire businessman, Oliver Warbucks.

Annie’s adventures from Miss Hannigan’s orphanage to the luxurious home of Oliver Warbucks, is a story that has been told all over the world.

First seen on stage in 1976, Annie is a wonderful heart-warming story that has become a timeless classic.

Audiences will also be able to enjoy a performance from a real dog on stage, as Annie befriends Sandy, an abandoned mutt, who quickly becomes her friend and constant companion.

With a memorable score including It’s A Hard Knock Life (covered by X Factor contestant Cher Lloyd in 2010), Easy Street and of course the legendary Tomorrow.
