‘THE SUN WILL COME OUT TOMORROW’ at National Children's Theatre - ANNIE JR. is being staged at NCT in collaboration with Pretoria Youth Theatre.


Leaping Lizards! Johannesburg will “stick up its chin and grin and sing ‘Tomorrow! Tomorrow!’” when Pretoria Youth Theatre performs Annie JR in conjunction with NCT, it was announced by Drew Cohen, president of Music Theatre International (MTI). Based on the popular comic strip and adapted from the Tony Award-winning best musical by Tony Award-winners, Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, Annie JR. tells the story of a spunky Depression-era orphan determined to find her parents.


“Annie is a heart-warming show with an important message about the true nature of family. In the show, we see how a plucky little girl transforms her entire life by making the most out of every moment,” says Cohen from MTI.


NCT in collaboration with Pretoria Youth Theatre will present Annie JR from 6-8 October 2022 at The National Children’s Indoor Inspiration Theatre
