Our costumes are carefully curated to reflect the period, helping transport audiences straight into Depression-era New York.
Annie is one of the best-loved musicals of all time, based on Harold Gray’s comic strip Little Orphan Annie, with music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Martin Charnin.
Set in New York during the Great Depression, the story follows young Annie, who lives in a grim municipal orphanage under the harsh rule of Miss Hannigan. Her fortunes change when she is invited to spend Christmas with billionaire Oliver Warbucks. Annie soon wins over Warbucks and his staff, but when a reward is offered to find her parents, Miss Hannigan, Rooster and Lily St. Regis hatch a plan to trick their way into the money.
Packed with heart, humour and unforgettable songs, Annie remains a timeless musical favourite for family audiences and theatre groups alike.
Our costume set is designed to support both principal and ensemble storytelling, helping every scene feel visually complete and period-authentic.
Our Annie costumes deliver across the show’s most recognisable moments, including:
