Former Loose Women presenter Andrea McLean and Olympic gold medalist Robin Cousins MBE will be joined by X Factor winner Dalton Harris and West End stars to raise funds for the UNICEF emergency fund that will go directly to their ground operations in Ukraine. The concert takes place at Royal Hippodrome Theatre in Eastbourne on Monday, March 28 from 7pm, and will also be live streamed.
Also performing will be brothers and professional dancers AJ & Curtis Pritchard, Ellie Fergusson (The Greatest Dancer), Chloe Hewitt (Strictly Come Dancing) and Abbie Quinnen. They will be joined by Giovanni Sparo (X Factor; Bat Out of Hell; Cinderella), Sally Ann Triplett (Anything Goes; Guys and Dolls, Mamma Mia), Olivier-nominated Kelly Price (What’s New Pussycat?; A Little Night Music), Olivier-nominated James Gillan (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie; Starlight Express), Ray Shell (Starlight Express; The Lion King), Lydia Lucy (The Voice) and Andrew Derbyshire (Britain’s Got Talent; Joseph & The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat). The concert, which will be directed by Michael Strassen (Passion; Godspell 50th), will also showcase local talent from Eastbourne schools.
As the conflict continues to escalate in Ukraine, millions of children and their families are in danger. With explosions in major cities across the country and thousands of families being forced to flee their homes, UNICEF is calling for an immediate ceasefire. UNICEF is determined to remain in Ukraine to reach the most vulnerable children and families.
Producers Thomas Hopkins, Michael Quinn and Guy Chapman have teamed up with local actor Natalie Roberts and the Royal Hippodrome in Eastbourne to produce this one-off event raising vital funds. Everyone involved has waived their fee.
Tickets (HERE) are £10 and audiences will be able to make additional donations should they wish.
