Annie

Annie is coming to the King's Theatre in Glasgow from Tuesday 2 March to Sunday 7 March 2027. It's the West End production of the musical, which they describe as the world's favourite family musical, returning to the stage as part of a new tour across the UK and Ireland.

Claire Sweeney takes the role of Miss Hannigan, the mean-spirited matron of the orphanage where the story begins. If you're not familiar with the plot, it's the one about Annie, the optimistic orphan who manages to find her way through a tough childhood with a bit of luck and a lot of heart, eventually catching the attention of the city's wealthiest bachelor. It's a story that works as well for kids as it does for adults, which is why it's usually billed as a family show.

This particular production comes from the West End, so it's a professional mount rather than a local staging. The run in Glasgow lasts six days, from Tuesday 2 March through to Sunday 7 March, so there's plenty of choice if you're trying to fit it around work or school runs. It's a good stretch of dates rather than a one-night stop, which makes it easier to pick a night that suits you.

For the practical side, you can find tickets and more details at the King's Theatre box office or on their website. The show runs from Tuesday 2 March to Sunday 7 March 2027 at the King's Theatre, with Claire Sweeney as Miss Hannigan.
