What is the plot of Annie?
Annie is set in 1930s New York during the Great Depression and follows a courageous young orphan forced to live under the strict rule of Miss Hannigan at a city orphanage.

Annie is a classic Broadway hit that originally opened in the 1970s and went on to win seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
Its award winning book and score have helped make it one of the world’s best known family musicals, with successful productions in the West End and on tour over many decades.
What are the dates and likely performance times in Cardiff?
Performances run from 7 to 18 July 2026, typically with evening shows from Tuesday to Saturday and additional matinee performances on selected midweek and weekend dates.
Evening performances usually start around 7:30 pm, while matinees are generally in the afternoon, giving you flexibility to fit a visit around work, school, or travel plans.
Is Annie suitable for children and families?
Annie is widely promoted as a family friendly musical, with a simple story, colourful staging, and plenty of humour and music that appeal to both children and adults.
Most families find it ideal for school age children, as any darker or tense moments are balanced by warmth, comedy, and a hopeful ending.
How long does the Annie performance last in Cardiff?
The Annie musical typically runs for about two and a half hours including an interval, which is similar to many other big musical theatre productions.
This running time allows the full story and musical numbers to unfold at an easy pace, with a break in the middle so audiences can rest and refresh.
Who is starring in Annie in Cardiff?
The Cardiff dates are part of the 2026 UK and Ireland tour, with the venue confirmed but casting for the role of Miss Hannigan and other principal characters yet to be officially announced.
Further casting news is expected closer to the run, and the production will feature a full company of adult and child performers bringing the orphans, Oliver Warbucks, Grace Farrell, and others to life.
How can I get cheap tickets for Annie in Cardiff?
To find cheaper tickets, look at midweek performances and daytime matinees rather than peak Friday and Saturday evenings, as these often have lower prices or better seat choices.
Compare different seating areas, including upper circle or side sections, and check for early booking offers, family deals, or group discounts that can reduce the overall cost.
Are there any tips for last minute cheaper tickets?
For last minute plans, keep checking availability close to the performance date, as extra seats or returned tickets may appear and can sometimes be good value.
If you are flexible about which day you go and where you sit, you have a better chance of finding late release or discounted tickets that other people overlook.
Can I use ticket resale to save money for Annie in Cardiff?
Resale tickets can occasionally offer savings, but only buy through reputable resale services or official partners that clearly show seat details and provide secure payment options.
Avoid buying from unverified sellers or informal social media posts, as those tickets may be invalid, and you could risk losing both your money and your chance to see the show.
Why is Annie a good choice for a Cardiff theatre trip?
Annie combines an emotional rags to riches story with an award winning score, energetic choreography, and a large cast of adults and children that create a lively, feel good atmosphere.
Its two week run at the Wales Millennium Centre in July 2026 offers plenty of performances to choose from, making it a strong option for a special family outing or a fun night out with friends.
