With preview performances now underway and Opening Night set for Thursday, Crossroads Live Australia has confirmed the final performances have now gone on-sale for the Sydney season of the new Australian production of the musical Annie.

Making his musical theatre debut, original Yellow Wiggle Greg Page takes on the role of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
