Just look at these cute photos of Hollie Steel. They were taken in December 2008 when she starred in the production of Annie for the “Basics Theatre School”.

Léopold tells me: “Hollie was very lucky to be Annie. Just 2 days before the show she couldn’t sing, she had a terrible terrible cold, the worse she had ever had, she was so lucky she made it.

“Her voice was a little croaky but it is still so lovely and sweet. Hollie, the brave little girl, when she practiced the day before couldn’t sing, and some girls laughed at her. But Hollie was so lovely she still got up on the stage the next day and was brilliant.”
