Hi can anybody help?
For the touring version on Annie do they use the same children for the orphans at all venues or do they use different ones at each location?
Thanks in advance

When it came to Carlisle they used girls from a local dance school to play the orphans. Only the girl playing Annie, and one of her orphan friends, who is an alternate Annie, I think, do the tour. Not sure if that makes sense

Think there might actually be 3 Annies who tour and the Annie understudying each night plays one of the orphans and the 3rd girl gets a night off?
Hope that helps.

Differnt orphans at each venue. This year my daughters theatre group got 2 venues,

& 1 of their girls is compleating a 6mth run as Annie tourning nationwide. & yes they had 3 Annies. So only the Annies tour . :
Im not 100% but I believe that the performance groups for each venue are allready decided for this year. My daughters group know which they have already.
