GIGGIN 4 GOOD “Best Of British”, a celebration of British Musical Theatre through the ages

GIGGIN4GOOD presents
BEST OF BRITISH – A CELEBRATION OF BRITISH MUSICAL THEATRE Actors’ Church, Covent Garden, Sunday November 15 

On Sunday November 15 Giggin4Good will present “Best Of British”, a celebration of British Musical Theatre through the ages, at the Actors’ Church, Covent Garden with a stellar cast of West End and Off-West End vocal talent, including a 2014 Broadwayworld UK award winner (Carolyn Maitland) and a 2015 Olivier Award winner (Lorna Want).

This will be the 8th charity concert produced by Giggin4Good since its inception in 2010 to raise much needed money to support the stalwart palliative and life-saving work done at Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital. Usually the money raised has been donated to a specific ward of the hospital. This year, as it is in the run up to Christmas, all proceeds will go towards buying Christmas gifts for the children in the hospital.

The evening will celebrate the work of British musical theatre composers from the vintage to the modern – from Coward and Novello to Lloyd Webber and Stiles and Drewe. The concert will also feature some new British musical theatre writing, including songs from musicals My Land’s Shore and A Pebble For Aaron.
