It has been revealed that Cynthia Erivo, Simon Bowman, Sophie Louise Dann, Shona White, Scott Garnham, Jodie Jacobs & Michael Xavier are just several West End stars who have come together to record a festive EP for charity.
Darren Bell and Kris Rawlinson teamed up to create ‘A Very West End Christmas’ which will be released on 14th December 2013. The pair brought together almost fifty stars of musical theatre and all proceeds will be equally split between Giggin’ For Good, which raises money for Great Ormond Street Hospital, West End Fests, which raises money for CRY UK, and The Band Aid Charitable Trust.
The participating West End stars gathered at the St James Theatre on Monday 14th October to record two of the songs in the main house. The EP also features three tracks recorded by Michael Xavier, Sabrina Aloueche, Jodie Jacobs, Katie Paine, Chloe Hart and Jeremy Legat.
Darren Bell said “We wanted to do something to raise money for charity that pulled together the amazing talent we have been lucky enough to have worked with over the last year. We wanted to make sure the recording had both seasoned West End performers and those that have just graduated or are starting their career. What everyone has achieved has exceeded all expectations. We are very grateful for all the support, especially the St James Theatre for hosting us for the day.”
