Annie Hägg is an award-winning actress, singer and bandleader based in New York City, celebrated for her dynamic work in theatre, television, and cabaret. She most recently appeared in GIANT on Broadway, starring John Lithgow and will next star in The Three Sisters directed by internationally renowned Russian auteur Dmitry Krymov.
On television, Annie has a recurring role opposite Al Pacino in Amazon’s Hunters, and has appeared in Daredevil: Born Again, The Blacklist, Bluebloods, Pose, Olga Dies Dreaming, Law & Order: SVU and FBI: Most Wanted. Her past theatre credits include Big Trip (Krymov Lab NYC), The Marriage (La MaMa) for which she won Best Actress at the 2024 Gombrowicz Festival in Poland, Dancing at Lughnasa (Irish Rep), The Caucasian Chalk Circle (Yale Rep), Cursed (HERE) and Boeing-Boeing (New Harmony).
A celebrated comedienne and emcee, Annie is especially known for her original one-woman shows, which blend storytelling, character work, and live music with glamour, wit, and theatrical flair. She has played such iconic women as Cleopatra and Marilyn Monroe, and most recently, Dr. Alex Schiller, the provocative host of the downtown cult hit Never Sleep Alone. As a jazz singer, Annie draws from the cabaret tradition with a repertoire spanning the American Songbook, New Orleans Dixieland, French chansons, Mexican boleros, Brazilian choros, Spanish coplas, and Balkan music. Backed by a powerhouse band featuring Izaak Mills (saxophone, clarinet, flute), Steven Paul (trumpet), Pat Brennan (guitar), and Seth Myers (bass), Annie has carved out a distinctive niche as a modern-day "vedette"—singing, acting and working the crowd in the grand tradition of old-school entertainers. Videos of her cabaret nights at the Triad Theatre in New York have garnered over 400k views on Youtube, and the combination of her musicality, comedic timing and effortless command as an emcee have built her a devoted fanbase—both online and throughout New York City, where she performs regularly at such venues as the Russian Tea Room, The Triad Theater, Crane Club, The Manner Hotel, The Beekman Hotel, The Triad Theater, St. Mazie, Melody’s, Winnie’s Jazz Club, the Flatiron Room, Scarlet, Laissez Faire and Marylou.
Annie holds an MFA in Acting from Yale School of Drama and a BA in History from the London School of Economics & Political Science.
