La Voix 'beyond excited' for Annie role on UK tour

Strictly Come Dancing star La Voix said she is "beyond excited" to join the cast of the upcoming UK tour of the Annie musical.

The Buckinghamshire drag queen will take on the role of Miss Hannigan when the production opens in May 2026 at Wimbledon, before heading to Birmingham, Manchester, Plymouth, and Canterbury.

She said: "I'm beyond excited to play Miss Hannigan on the new Annie tour next year.

"She's loud, she's chaotic, she's glamorous in a 'hasn't-slept-since-1973' sort of way — basically, the role I was born to play."

"Brace yourselves, darlings, La Hannigan is here," she added.

The role has previously been played Paul O'Grady, Craig Revel Horwood and Miranda Hart.

The 2026 show will also make stops at venues in cities such as Cardiff, Milton Keynes and Edinburgh.

Further performances are lined-up to take place in 2027 in destinations such as Norwich, Sheffield and Glasgow.

LaVoix - formerly a finalist of RuPaul's Drag Race UK - was forced to leave Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday after sustaining an injury.
