Much-loved family favourite Annie comes to Lichfield Garrick from 25 February - 1 March 2025.

This funny, lively and touching musical about a New York orphan who goes to stay with a millionaire amid the Great Depression, has delighted audiences for almost 50 years.

Little Annie yearns to find her parents who left her as a baby at cruel Miss Hannigan’s orphanage. When Annie is chosen to stay at high-profile businessman Oliver ‘Daddy’ Warbucks’ mansion, while she leaves her friends behind, she escapes Miss Hannigan’s clutches and the misery of the orphanage. For the first time she is warm, cared for and living in the lap of luxury, but this sparky and honest little girl’s presence soon proves to be much more than a good deed done by Daddy Warbucks. She brings a new perspective to the gruff millionaire’s life and reminds him there is more to life than money and power. So much so that he determines to reunite her with her parents, but will she find them or find herself in danger at the hands of con artists and criminals – some of whom seem strangely familiar?

This Tony Award-winning show is proudly presented by Sutton Coldfield Musical Theatre Company, who return to Lichfield Garrick Theatre following the success of Kinky Boots (May 2024) and their award-winning production of Shrek the Musical (September 2023).

With well-known songs like ‘Hard-Knock Life’, ‘Maybe’, ‘You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile’ and ‘Tomorrow’, a host of laughs, a lively ‘orphan’ cast, and big song and dance numbers, Annie is the perfect show to bring young and old together for a musical theatre experience.

By Bram Stoker

Adapted for the Stage by Nick Lane

Director – Nick Lane

Composer – Tristan Parkes

The time is 1897. Mankind is on the cusp of vast technological change, scientific mastery and media innovation.

Adapted by Nick Lane, this brilliant, theatrical treatment of Bram Stoker’s adventure blends Victorian Gothic with the Contemporary, showcasing Blackeyed Theatre’s trademark ensemble performance style and featuring a haunting soundscape, powerful performances and innovative design for an exhilarating theatrical experience.

If you’re up for a giggle and a great night out remember to save the date for Mothers of the Brides.

The hits earned their place in pop history. From Poison Arrow to The Look Of Love, from All Of My Heart, and Be Near Me, to When Smokey Sings, ABC were the band that redefined glamour and cool. Led by the charismatic Martin Fry, they enjoyed TransAtlantic success as The Lexicon of Love proved as artful as a Warhol silkscreen, and glossier than Marilyn’s lipstick. ABC’s The Lexicon of Love was a brilliantly distinctive debut album, fizzing with bright ideas, and unapologetically flamboyant. Frontman Martin Fry harked back to a golden era of luxe, as though Cole Porter had been re-imagined among the narrow streets of Sheffield. Little wonder his sleek, opulent, and beautiful debut retains the affection of listeners four decades on. With good reason, it has stood the test of time. And so has Martin Fry, who will bring an evening of stripped-back music and conversation to UK theatres in celebration. His intimate tour follows a sold-out tour of the UK, which included three sell out nights at London Palladium, and coincides with the publication of his autobiography. That’s the look, that’s the look… The Look of love.

Never say never again, and how true that is. Having made their first attempt at a gentle retirement in 2019 and now with an astonishing three 'final' tours in the can, The Searchers had agreed it was time to retire...

Their influence on the world of youth music has been wide ranging and such stellar names as Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, The Ramones, The Byrds and so many more have happily and generously owned up to having been inspired by their rich harmonies and the beautiful sound of their jangling twelve string guitars.

Their list of chart successes both here in the U.K and across the globe is never to be forgotten. Sweets For My Sweet, Sugar & Spice, Needles & Pins, Don`t Throw Your Love Away, When You Walk In The Room, What Have They Done To The Rain, Love Potion Number Nine, Goodbye My Love. And that is just a selection of their hits.

Fans will have the opportunity to catch some live appearances... their very final ones, they promise! This is definitely (probably) your last chance to wallow in a magical evening of nostalgia and to say what surely will be a final goodbye to The Searchers.

This is not a musical. Milton Jones is tone deaf and has no sense of rhythm, but at least he doesn’t make a song and dance about it.

He has more important things to discuss. Like giraffes…and there’s a bit about tomatoes.

You might know him from Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo or Radio 4. Or that time he stood for the Scottish National Party, fought a hard campaign, but in the end had to respect the wishes of the people of Cardiff.

A whole new show of daftness. You know it makes sense.
