A SONG FOR LUCE announced at Donmar Warehouse

A Song for Luce - a Tribute Concert, in loving memory of Lucinda Shaw, has been announced to take place on 20 November at the Donmar Warehouse.

The show will celebrate the life of beautiful Lucinda, who sadly passed away aged 36 following a two-year battle with cancer in December 2020, with live music, stories, laughter and the joy of coming together to share wonderful anecdotes.

There will be performances from a live band as well as her nearest and dearest performing selected pieces that mean something to them and their relationship with Lucinda. There will also be a raffle and auction to help raise money for Macmillan and The Royal Theatrical Fund.

Performers include Jennifer Tierney (Come From Away), Gloria Ontirini (Upstart Crow), Lauren Ingram (Rocky Horror Show), Lauren Hall (42nd Street) and many more.

Australian-born Lucinda trained at Brent Street Studios in Sydney, where she began her career in musical theatre. Her first principal role was playing The Lady of the Lake in Monty Python's Spamalot in Melbourne, for which she was nominated for a Helpman Award. After relocating to the UK, she quickly established herself as a talent to watch, with credits including Violet in It's A Wonderful Life at the New Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich, The Enchantress in Sleeping Beauty at Birmingham Hippodrome and Mazeppa in Gypsy at Leicester Curve. Her West End debut came playing the Diva in Priscilla Queen of the Desert at the Palace Theatre, and she was subsequently seen in The Bodyguard, From Here to Eternity and Gypsy (Chichester Festival Theatre production). Lucinda travelled the UK, Europe and International venues with tours of Cats, We Will Rock You and Shrek. She was involved in workshops for Groundhog Day and Wonder.Land at the National Theatre and appeared in the film version of London Road, both directed by Rufus Norris. Other UK credits included playing Tracy in the UK premiere of The Life at Southwark Playhouse.
