Michael Harrison and David Ian have revealed that La Voix will star as Miss Hannigan, alongside Alex Bourne as Oliver Warbucks, in the UK and Ireland tour of the musical ANNIE, opening at New Wimbledon Theatre on Saturday 23 May 2026.
La Voix will play the role in Wimbledon, Birmingham, Manchester, Plymouth and Canterbury, with casting for the role of Miss Hannigan from Cardiff onwards, and full company, yet to be announced. Best known for her stint on the twenty-third series of Strictly Come Dancing, La Voix first came to public attention on Season 6 of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, reaching the grand finale only to come runner up.
Set in 1930s New York during The Great Depression, brave young Annie is forced to live a life of misery and torment at Miss Hannigan’s orphanage. Her luck soon changes when she’s chosen to spend a fairytale Christmas with famous billionaire, Oliver Warbucks. Meanwhile, spiteful Miss Hannigan has other ideas and hatches a plan to spoil Annie’s search for her true family…
With a Tony award-winning book and score, Annie includes the classic songs It’s the Hard Knock Life, Easy Street, I Don’t Need Anything But You and Tomorrow.
