The first of the headliners of the 2022 postponed festival are returning for the re-launched  event in 2023. Fresh from her toe-tapping turn in Anything Goes, Kerry Ellis (We Will Rock  You; Wicked) will be joined by fellow headliners and Britain’s Got Talent winners Collabro, in  one of their last ever performances; stage and TV star Lee Mead (Joseph and the Amazing  Technicolor Dreamcoat; Wicked; Legally Blonde: The Musical); Olivier Award-winning singer  and actress Cassidy Janson (& Juliet; Beautiful: The Carol King Musical; Avenue Q); and Over  the Rainbow contestants and musical stars Lauren Samuels (Bend It Like Beckham; Grease;  We Will Rock You) and Sophie Evans (Wicked; The Wizard of Oz; Lord of the Dance).  

The amazing line up will perform their favourite musical theatre songs on the Main Stage,  accompanied by the London Musical Theatre Orchestra. Further names are to be announced in due course.  

As well as the amazing Main Stage line up, festivalgoers can dance the day away to their  favourite Broadway belters in the silent disco tent, browse a wide variety of independent and  official show merchandise in the theatre village and get involved with an exciting programme  of events and activities across the 20 acre site.
