Joe Allen Restaurant streams second charity concert including tribute to Witches of Eastwick
Following the success of their last virtual concert, Joe Allen Restaurant will be streaming another charity performance; this time paying tribute to hit musicals including The Witches of Eastwick, Sunset Boulevard and Sweeney Todd.
The concert will be shown on their Youtube channel on Saturday 5 September with an all-star cast including Stephen Ashfield, Lizzie Bea, David Bedella, Michael Cashman, Michelle Collins, Drew Jaymson, Ria Jones, Claire Machin, Claire Moore, Grant Neal, Martin Ramsdin, Joanna Riding, Caroline Sheen, Harriet Thorpe, Sally Ann Triplett, Gareth Valentine, Gok Wan, Shona White and Debbie Wileman.
General manager Cathy Winn said: "While the government's pledge of £1.57 billion is fabulous, it hasn't been paid out yet, which means theatres/performers/musicians/crew etc are still struggling massively. Also, although this is a generous amount, it's put into perspective when you realise that the lack of panto this year could collectively drain the theatre industry nationwide of around £90 million.”
Funds from this concert will raise money for the restaurant, along with arts charity Acting For Others.
