Monday Night at the Apollo series rescheduled to Spring 2021 with further casting announced

Producers of the Monday Night at the Apollo series have rescheduled their shows to dates in Spring 2021, along with announcing new cast members.

An intimate evening of conversation and song hosted by Greg Barnett, Monday Night at the Apollo will see some of the West End’s best-known performers sing an eclectic mix of music from their favourite genres. Performers will share their most cherished memories and experiences from their careers, alongside performances of music which is personal to them, in a relaxed and informal theatrical celebration.

The series was due to start this month but, due to ongoing restrictions, it will now run on 12 April, 26 April and 10 May, and will also be streamed for online viewing.

Cast members confirmed to appear across the series include: Aimie Atkinson, Declan Bennett, Rosalie Craig, Arthur Darvil, Kerry Ellis, Hadley Fraser, Cassidy Janson, Lucie Jones, Renee Lamb, Cedric Neal, Jamie Muscato, Julian Ovenden and Layton Williams, with music direction by George Dyer.

Producers Greg Barnett and Hugh Summers said, “We’re so excited to be announcing revised dates and further cast for Monday Night At The Apollo. In light of the newly imposed national coronavirus restrictions, we feel it was the correct decision to postpone the original performances. Public health and the safety of our audiences is our utmost priority and will always be the most important factor in informing any decisions we make. With that said, we truly believe that we are on the way back to reopening theatres and feel it is important to press ahead with getting these concerts staged. It in no way dampens our spirits, rather it strengthens our resolve to get the industry restarted. In doing so, we hope to be able to raise funds for ‘Acting For Others’ to continue to support the thousands of freelancers who these latest restrictions will hit the hardest. Theatre and its audiences know how important it is to get back to normal, especially in these seemingly crucial final months. Therefore, we ask your support, kindness, and when needed, patience, as we navigate the difficult road ahead.”

Tickets for the live shows are available to purchase here or via streaming platform Thespie here, with 10% of sales going to arts charity, Acting For Others.
