Arts council president Simon Dandy urged people to start buying their seats.  

“Get in early, there’s still three months to go but we hope that the tickets will sell quickly,” he said.

“Tickets are available via the Horsham Town Hall – either online or via the box office.”

The 1977 Broadway musical follows the story of Annie, an 11-year-old ward of the state who finds fame while trying to reunite with her parents.

The cast and crew held their latest rehearsal on Sunday.

“Rehearsals have been going for a few weeks,” Mr Dandy said.

“We’re still in the early stages but everything looks really good.

“It’s looking exciting.”

The arts council will put on eight performances, with the opening night set for May 12.

The musical’s cast was revealed in December
