Fourth Wall Live have announced Benjamin Rauhala & his West End Besties at the Cadogan Hall on 5 February.

One of Broadway’s most trusted music directors and collaborators, Benjamin Rauhala will be joined on stage by stars of the West End including Luke Bayer (Soho Cinders), Paisley Billings (The Lion King), Lauren Drew (Legally Blonde), Hiba Elchikhe (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie), Jordan Luke Gage (& Juliet), Ben Joyce (Back to the Future), Claudia Kariuki (Wicked), Olivier Award nominee Frances Mayli McCann (Bonnie & Clyde), Zara MacIntosh (& Juliet), Natalie Paris (Six), Courtney Stapleton (Beauty and the Beast), Jodie Steele (Heathers), Benjamin Yates (Jersey Boys). Guests are subject to change.

Music director Benjamin Rauhala’s love affair with the London theatre community and actors of the West End has been ongoing since his first sold-out concerts with Jeremy Jordan in the summer of 2016. Rauhala grew up obsessed with British pop music, including a subscription to Top of the Pops magazine! As a mainstay of the Broadway community, he has produced hundreds of sold-out concerts that spawned viral YouTube concert clips totalling * totalling over 56million views, including Jeremy Jordan’s ubiquitous cover of “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now” and the many medleys featured in his Broadway Princess Party concert series.

Rauhala found that everyone he met in London had a favourite one of those videos and wanted to chat about it, so he had an idea: what if he gathered a dozen of his favourite West End performers with an epic band and re-created some of those beloved videos, as well as crafting some new arrangements for these amazing singers? On the heels of a sold-out run at Theatre Royal Drury Lane with Jeremy Jordan and in preparation to play the London Palladium with Ariana DeBose and for an upcoming international tour of Disney Princess The Concert, this was the perfect moment to create a concert unlike anything London has ever seen! BENJAMIN RAUHALA AND HIS WEST END BESTIES will be a night filled with Rauhala’s signature mashups and medleys, some of the best contemporary musical theatre, some radically rearranged Disney tunes, and, of course, tunes from the likes of Céline Dion, the Spice Girls, Selena Gomez, and Sam Smith!
