Chris and Damien from Theatre Support Fund+ said: “We are overjoyed with the response to the concert and delighted to announce two more performances. We are thrilled to be bringing together all 16 West End shows which appear on our ‘The Show Must Go On!’ t-shirts. We never imagined our original design would end up becoming a real-life performance at the Palace Theatre!

“We are so thankful to have such a wonderful team and cast who have helped make this show possible. These concerts have united the industry by providing work to many and helping those who have lost work by giving profits to two very special industry charities. We are overwhelmed with the support and generosity we have received so far and we would like to thank everybody who has supported our cause of helping those in the industry who have been affected in these uncertain times”.
