Line up confirmed for second MONDAY NIGHT AT THE APOLLO concert next month
The line-up has been announced for the second concert in the Monday Night at the Apollo series, performing live at the Apollo Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue on 14 June and simultaneously being livestreamed across the globe via Thespie.
Hosted by Greg Barnett (Miss Littlewood, Swallows & Amazons), Shan Ako (Les Miserables, X Factor), Arthur Darvill (Once, Doctor Who), Sophie Evans (Wicked, The Wizard of Oz), Sandra Marvin (Waitress, Emmerdale) and Oliver Tompsett (&Juliet, Wicked) will perform in this intimate night of music and theatrical chat, featuring ovation worthy performances of songs from their favourite genres.
This concert series has been created to support the theatre industry, with a percentage of the profits being donated to Acting for Others.
Tickets are on sale now for all three concerts: Monday 24 May, Monday 14 June and Monday 5 July. Aimie Atkinson, Cassidy Janson, Lucie Jones, Cedric Neal and Julian Ovenden have been confirmed for the first concert, and the line up for the third concert will be announced soon.
Producers Greg Barnett and Hugh Summers said: “We’re excited to be announcing the second of our all-star line-ups for Monday Night At The Apollo. We have five of British Theatre’s best performers joining us for this night to celebrate the re-opening of our wonderful industry and we simply cannot wait for them to be out on stage, sharing their talent, in front of a live audience. We are thrilled that all three performances will also still be live-streamed to viewers at home via Thespie.com. The industry faces huge challenges in its recovery and we still hope to be able to raise funds for the charity ‘Acting For Others’ to support the thousands of freelancers who continue to be hit hardest as our sector begins to slowly reawaken. Theatre and its audiences know how vital it will be to support each other on the road to recovery and in these seemingly crucial final months, we ask your support, kindness, and most of all your theatrical presence, as we embark on our journey back to the stage. Public health and the safety of our audiences are still our utmost priority and the performances will adhere to the current government guidelines.”
