Excellent actors and performers. Light hearted with some great puns. My favourite performer played miss Hannigan and had me gut laughing on many occasions. The show all round was excellent and I wouldn't change a thing. Great for adults and children 5+ The show outweighed the lack of space, as the seating in Brisbane was like sitting on a plane. Small seats with shared armrests.

Annie was a wonderful show! Music top notch, as was all of the dance, etc. etc. etc. The percussion was particularly amazing! Beautiful venue, clean and well designed for perfect view of the stage wherever you're seated. Ushers were so great with their help. Parking and access so easy. Altogether a very memorable day.

The actors were amazing. They were all so talented. The orchestra played beautifully. Loved the dog. So well behaved. We took 3 of our grandchildren (13,10 and 8)who all thoroughly enjoyed the musical. It was the first time they had been to the theatre. What an introduction.
