Her luck changes when she is chosen to spend a fairytale Christmas with billionaire Oliver Warbucks, but Miss Hannigan and her scheming associates try to spoil Annie’s search for her true family, all told through songs like It’s the Hard Knock Life, Easy Street, I Don’t Need Anything But You, and Tomorrow.

Has Annie won any major awards?

Annie is a classic Broadway musical that has won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, for its original production.

Its Tony Award winning book and score have helped make it one of musical theatre’s best loved family shows, with frequent West End revivals and touring productions.

Is Annie suitable for children and families?

Promoters describe Annie as the world’s favourite family musical, highlighting its uplifting story, colourful staging, and memorable songs as ideal for audiences of all ages.

Most families find it especially suitable for school age children, as any tense or emotional scenes are balanced by humour, music, and a reassuringly happy ending.

Who is starring in Annie in Liverpool?

The Liverpool dates are part of the 2026 UK and Ireland tour, with the official tour site confirming the dates and noting that the role of Miss Hannigan is still to be announced.

A large company of adult and child performers will bring Annie, Oliver Warbucks, Grace Farrell, the orphans, and the wider New York world of the musical to life on the Liverpool Empire stage.

How long does the Annie performance last in Liverpool?

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 all the key musical numbers to unfold at a comfortable pace, with a break in the middle so audiences can rest and refresh.

How can I get cheap tickets for Annie in Liverpool?

Tickets at the Liverpool Empire start from around £15, with prices shown as starting prices that may rise with demand over time.

To keep costs down, look at earlier in the week performances, compare different seating areas such as the upper circle or balcony, and watch for theatre or ticket offers that reduce fees or provide discounts.

Are there tips for last minute cheaper tickets?

For last minute plans, keep checking the Liverpool Empire listing close to the date, as returned tickets or extra releases sometimes appear and can be good value compared with early premium options.

Being flexible about which day you attend and where you sit increases your chances of picking up discounted or late release tickets before the run ends.

Can I use ticket resale to save money for Annie in Liverpool?

Resale tickets can occasionally offer savings, but only use reputable resale services or official partners that clearly show seat locations and use secure payment methods.

Avoid buying from unverified sellers or informal social media posts, as those tickets may not be valid and you could risk losing both your money and your chance to see the show.

Why is Annie a good choice for a Liverpool theatre trip?

Annie combines an emotional rags to riches story with an award winning score, energetic choreography, and a large ensemble of adults and children, creating a lively, feel good atmosphere.

Its late September 2026 run at the Liverpool Empire offers multiple performances in a major regional theatre, making it an appealing option for a family outing, a night out with friends, or a treat at the end of summer.
