ANNIE THE MUSICAL

★★★★ “It would be a disservice not to recognise Kenneth Foy’s layered and dimensional set design as one of the main characters of the production, incorporating Craig Wilkinson’s dynamic new projection designs. Wilkinson’s grainy projections effectively evoke nostalgia for an old school New York City” — TIMEOUT

★★★★ “The design has been enhanced by new projections, which add another (highly effective) visual element to the lavish staging, bringing the streets of 1930s New York to life” — LIMELIGHT

“The classic set and costumes continue to look lavish, and with the addition of video projections by Craig Wilkinson, a greater sense of kineticism is introduced to establish a more updated aesthetic to the production” — SUZY GOES SEES

“Little Orphan Annie has been given a sparkling refresh thanks to excellent casting, a few flourishes of digital scenery and some new choreography which has attracted global attention” — STAGE WHISPERS

“[Mitchell] Woodcock has clearly worked very closely with Director Karen Johnson Mortimer to make this production feel just as relevant in 2025 as it was 12 and 25 years ago, and even in 1978 when it was first performed in Australia. Kenneth Foy’s set and Craig Wilkinson’s projection designs have done wonders to aid this, whilst still bringing those 1930’s New York City streets to life” — THEATRE TRAVEL
