It's far from a Hard-Knock Life for the members of the Bournemouth and Boscombe Light Opera, who brought classic musical Annie to the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre.
Performers have been rehearsing since in July and their practice resulted in an astonishing performance.
The young actors from local theatre and dance groups thrilled audiences with their phenomenal display.
The performance was further enhanced by the delightful contribution of the talented dog Teddy who played the notorious character Sandy.
Jonathan Brusk – who played Mr Warbucks - previously spoke to Nerve Online and was correct in predicting that audiences would feel 'uplifted as it's a very happy musical'.
Not only did the musical include the talent from the actors but also the vibrant orchestra that accompanied their show, adding depth and emotion to each scene.
This paired with the timeless songs, including the classic Tomorrow, creating an atmosphere brimming with charm.
The group's rendition of the play stays true to the historical timeline, with the supporting character of Roosevelt earning countless laughs from the audience.
To conclude a sensational performance, the cast and crew received a well-deserved standing ovation.
