Young Kildare star has role with Rebecca Storm in Annie at National Concert Hall

Has performed on the Late Late Toy Show and the Junior Eurovision

Kildare ladies will steal the show at the National Concert Hall in the much loved musical ANNIE this Christmas. The first lady of musical theatre - REBECCA STORM joins rising star JULIETTE MAGUIRE in this spectacular new Irish production, supported by an incredible cast of Irish talent.

From Newbridge, Co Kildare, JULIETTE MAGUIRE plays ANNIE, the loveable orphan with a dream of tomorrow, who has captured hearts for generations.

Although only 11 years old, Juliette is bursting with natural talent and stage charm, and already proving one to watch for the future.

To date she has performed on the Late Late Toy Show, the Junior Eurovision, Kildare Superstars, Show Tops Championships and many more, supported by her stage school The Leah Moran Stage School.

Known as the First Lady of Musical Theatre, REBECCA STORM makes a welcome return to the stage playing the fabulously tragic Miss Hannigan. Known and loved for leading West End roles in Blood Brothers, Evita, Chess, Les Miserable and many
more, audiences in Ireland have long claimed her as one of our own. “Miss Hannigan is a great role”, says Rebecca Storm, “and I really look forward to playing her with Festival Productions this Christmas. The talent in the cast is incredible – I am so impressed by Juliette playing Annie and all of the orphans. We will have great fun bringing it to life on the stage at the NCH.”

ANNIE, The plucky orphan from New York City, forced to live at Miss Hannigan’s miserable orphanage, somehow manages to spread sunshine and joy, and never loses hope for the future. Her luck changes when she is taken in by America’s richest billionaire, Oliver Warbucks, but the path ahead is not without turns!  ANNIE is full of the songs you know and love; It’s a Hard Knock Life, Easy Street, I Don’t Need Anything But You, and the eternal anthem of optimism Tomorrow! Festival Productions, the team that brought The Sound of Music, Oliver! and The Wizard of Oz to the National Concert Hall in recent years, presents this all Irish production.

It promises to be a treat for all ages, with spectacular costumes and sets, and the acclaimed Festival chorus, dancers and orchestra.

The show runs for 11 performances only, from Dec 27th to Jan 3rd with matinee performances and family tickets available. Tickets are priced from €29 - €39.
