SEARCH FOR ANNIE
The search is on for the lucky youngster, who must be able to sing and tap dance, who will share the stage with West End stars Ruthie Henshall and Louise Dearman at Tonight… A West End Christmas.
The show’s producers are hoping to find a young girl – aged between 8 and 14 – to perform ‘You’re Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile’ from the hit show, ‘Annie’. “We really want to tap into the talent out there and if we can showcase a budding young performer, then we should,” said Peter Ferguson of Tonight Productions.
