Meet her Miss Hannigan in this new video released today...
Tomorrow, tomorrow... or, to be more exact, six weeks from now, Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood will reprise his cross-dressing performance as Miss Hannigan in the West End production of ANNIE, taking over from Miranda Hart. Can you spot the difference?!

There aren't many musicals you could call a true classic, but ANNIE is certainly one of those select few. The heartwarming story of the little ginger orphan in 1930's New York who won the heart of a billionaire - and an entire nation! - against all odds, has earned its place in Musical Theatre history. It's always a gamble though, when a show is so well loved, to bring in a revival, especially starring someone who's never been on the West End before... But tread those boards she did, and Miranda Hart has proven herself as a true #StageFave! And guess what...the critics are raving!

This week we were delighted to hear that AN AMERICAN IN PARIS has extended until 2018 in the West End. To celebrate, we rounded up some alternative dance moves from our favourite toe-tapping musicals. Bank Holiday weekend is coming right up, and it’s time to work those dancing feet! We’d love you to tweet @StageFaves with any of your #BankHolidayDance moves!
We're already imagining a tug of war between Annies and Matildas, with some School of Rockers thrown in: so many cute kids in the West End at the moment! So, yep, the full cast - including three young stars to share the title role, plus a Labradoodle in the limelight - have been announced to join Miranda Hart in Nikolai Foster's revival of ANNIE...
Miranda Hart has 'a spring in her step' - thanks to being cast as villainess Miss Hannigan in the new West End production of ANNIE, which comes to the Piccadilly Theatre in May. We reckon she'll be as big a success on the musical stage as she is in comedy world...
