The Liverpool Empire Stage Experience is one of the success stories of recent times. It really does give the youth of Liverpool a chance to shine, and like the production of two summers ago, the excellent Bugsy Malone, Annie shone as vibrantly as the neon lights of New York or London and for the young lady who played the eponymous Annie, the delightful and wonderfully cheeky Alice Carlile, she sparkled brighter than most who have played this part on a British stage.
