“Annie Kids was a great experience and I loved playing the role of Annie. It was my first show, it was so much fun to work on and I loved the whole cast!!”

“Just over 12 months ago, our daughter Savannah did her very first musical (Aladdin Kids) with Melbourne Kids Theatre having never done musical theatre before — and what an incredible journey it’s been since! The experience lit a spark in her, and the supportive, fun, and professional environment gave her the confidence to chase her dreams. Thanks to Angela and her passionate team, Savannah has grown so much as a young performer. She’s made lifelong friends, learned so much, and now—only a year later—she’s been cast in her first professional theatre production - Annie! We are so grateful to Melbourne Kids Theatre for nurturing her love of musical theatre and giving her such a magical start!”

“Being part of Annie, was nothing short of an amazing experience for my daughter. Her passion for Musical Theatre was displayed on stage in a marvellous production in only 4 days of rehearsals. Very professional stage show by the children. The staff at MTK communicated effectively with parents and keep us informed as part of one big theatre family. My daughter can’t wait to audition for the next production.”

“Being in Annie was so much fun! You got to know everyone and it was a kind welcoming community. Everyone had maximised show time and if they had a small role they sometimes got another part. It helped me realise my love of performing and it is seriously a life long experience.”
