Auburn Jam Music has announced that they will be releasing a charity single of Dear Evan Hansen’s ‘You Will Be Found’ by #CheerUpCharlie and his West End friends on 15 November to raise money for youth charity, The Diana Award.
The single, led by 10-year old Charlie Kristensen from Wokingham, will also feature West End stars: Daniel Boys (Nativity), Matthew Croke (Aladdin), Alice Fearn (Wicked), Lyndsey Gardiner (The Phantom of the Opera), Adrian Hansel (Hairspray), Jacqueline Hughes (Mary Poppins), Melissa Jacques (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie), Caroline Kay (The Space Between), Nathaniel Morrison (Waitress), Nadim Naaman (The Phantom of the Opera), Wendi Peters (Coronation Street), Zizi Strallen (Mary Poppins), Layton Williams (Bad Education) and Michael Xavier (Sunset Boulevard). There are also a plethora of famous faces reading supportive messages on the song’s music video including: Iain Armitage, Michael Ball, Rufus Hound and Faye Tozer.
Charlie was bullied for his love of musical theatre, and following encouragement from his drama teacher Jacqueline Hughes, he created the viral #CheerUpCharlie campaign to help others. He is now an Ambassador for The Diana Award, who run the UK’s leading anti-bullying award.
Charlie has also set up a weekly online Musical Chairs chat show on YouTube interviewing actors, presenters and others in the spotlight.
The single is available to pre-order now on iTunes, Deezer, Spotify and Tidal and the accompanying video will be available on the Charlie Kristensen #CheerUpCharlie YouTube page.
