Jodie Prenger (winner of BBC One’s I’ll Do Anything and current star of Oliver!), Alistair McGowan (BAFTA award winning impressionist and actor), Graham Bickley (Miss Saigon) and Charlotte Page (Phantom of the Opera) will be performing in Broadway to West End by Special Arrangement on 4th October at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
To celebrate this unique event coming to London’s West End the actors were today joined outside the legendary Theatre Royal by dancers from London’s Arts Educational School, who will also be performing.
Broadway to West End by Special Arrangement will be showcasing the best of musical theatre, with classic favourites such as Carousel, Crazy for You and Miss Saigon through to the popular hits like Wicked, Oliver! and Mary Poppins.
A star-studded company of West End artists have come together for this celebration, which pays tribute to Tony Award Winner William David Brohn, whose orchestral work is behind all the evening’s songs.
The evening will also be raising money for the children’s cancer charity CLIC Sargent. “We are thrilled to be working with Richard Douglas Productions to present this very special event”, explains Paul Turner, CLIC Sargent’s Head of Major Events.
Turner adds: “For one night only this incredible company of West End artists will perform some of the finest show music ever written. Broadway to West End is sure to be the hottest ticket in town! And best of all, the money raised will help CLIC Sargent to care and support the 10 children and young people diagnosed with cancer everyday in the UK.”
