SU Pollard is remembered by millions as loveable cleaner Peggy in the hugely popular sit-com Hi-de-Hi.

But she is a highly talented and versatile actress with numerous television and stage credits.

Her most recent role, for which she has won rave reviews, is as the Jack Daniels soaked Miss Hannigan in one of the most captivating and delightful musicals of all time - Annie.

Malvern Theatre audiences will be able to catch Su - who will be joined by children from the Cecilia Hall Dance Centre in Malvern as the orphans - when Annie hits the stage between Monday, November 8 to Saturday, November 13.

Annie is the story of 11-year-old orphan Annie who has spent a miserable childhood in a New York orphanage dreaming of finding her real parents.

Fate takes an unexpected turn when local billionaire businessman Oliver Warbucks (played by James Smillie who appeared in the West End's La Cage aux Folles) decides to host an orphan for the Christmas season and Annie is chosen as the lucky candidate.

Annie and Warbucks develop a special bond and Warbucks decides to adopt her after first promising to make every effort to find her folks.

The announcement of a $50,000 reward for Annie's real parents to come forward creates chaos as hundreds of people make their claim. Miss Hannigan, her ex-con brother Rooster and his girlfriend Lily concoct their own claim.

Warbucks' adoption plans are thwarted when Rooster and Lily, in disguise, manage to successfully bluff all.

It seems as though Annie's dream has finally come true until the impostors are exposed.

Annie is sure to warm the hearts of any audience who will be swept away by songs including Tomorrow, It's A Hard Knock Life and You're Never Dressed Without A Smile.

Tickets cost £16 to £24 (under 18s are £10) and are available from the box office on 01684 892277 or www.malvern-theatres.co.uk
