The Great British Bake Off host MEL GIEDROYC and comedy actress favourite CAROLINE QUENTINn join the already star studded cast of NEW SONGS 4 NEW SHOWS giving the West End a unique experience of seeing star performances of songs from four new musicals, in this one off Gala Concert at the Lyric Theatre Shaftesbury Avenue on MONDAY 28 NOVEMBER.
MEL says: "I have adored musical theatre since the age of five when I would listen to Jesus Christ Superstar religiously (!), everyday after school and act out all the parts. So I am HUGELY excited to be performing not in my parents' living-room, but in The Stable's first ever public Gala!"
CAROLINE is returning to the musical West End stage for the first time since her role in the original cast of Les Miserables says: "Having been in the anniversary production of Oh! What A Lovely War at Stratford East a couple of years ago, it's great to have the opportunity to sing such a brilliant, funny song about the extraordinary Joan Littlewood." (*see below details on both their show songs).
As announced, the star cast of NEW SONGS 4 NEW SHOWS also includes: Douglas Hodge (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Gemma Whelan (Game Of Thrones), Haydn Gwynne (Threepenny Opera), jazz supremo Ian Shaw, Alex Gaumond (We Will Rock You), sublime tenor HAL CAZALET and singer/songwriter Gwyneth Herbert (The A-Z Of Mrs. P).
