A group of musical theatre stars have joined forces to perform a series of numbers from new musical Broken Wings to raise money for the Beirut Emergency Appeal.
Last month, massive explosions caused extensive damage to the city, killing and seriously injuring many residents and leaving others homeless.
Written by Nadim Naaman and Dana Al Fardan, the performances were filmed at Southwark Playhouse, with support from The Lebanese Philharmonic Orchestra and videography/post-production donated by The Barn Theatre Cirencester.
The performers featured in the video include Eva-Theresa Chokarian, Joseph Claus, Nadeem Crowe, Melissa Dano, Nikki Davison, Hiba Elchikhe, Soophia Foroughi, Fenton Gray, Rob Houchen, Irvine Iqbal, Hanna Khogali, Adam Linstead, Johan Munir, Nadim Naaman, Benjamin Purkiss, Lauren James Ray, Mia Richards, Jeremy Secomb, Jake Stewart, Aliza Vakil and Bethany Weaver.
Naaman said: "Watching events in Lebanon unfold over the last year has been extremely difficult. The tragedy of August 4th came on top of financial collapse, political malaise and the impact of Covid-19. This time last year, we had just performed Broken Wings in Beirut, and the world was a very different place. It is a musical about Lebanon, about The Lebanese, and we simply had to come together to help in some way."
