This was a very enjoyable show with well lit sets and very appropriate costumes. I liked the way the curtains were used to allow movement of scenery without distraction. From the outset the audience was enthralled and overall this was an excellent production. There were few mistakes from the principals with excellent performances by Talia Duff, Annie, Andrew Warner, Rooster and Kim Seagrove as Miss Hannigan. The chorus were generally very good both chorally and with stage movement but special mention must be of the children’s chorus. They were excellent throughout with especial mention for the young member who often took the lead in the earlier scenes. The orchestra under the direction of Valerie Tucker were generally excellent but some instruments would have benefitted with being miked thus helping the overall balance.
