A host of stage and screen stars are uniting for a festive filmed concert in support of Shelter and Crisis at Christmas which will be streamed online from 20 December 2020 until 1 January 2021.
Filmed at The Actors Church (St Paul’s Church) in Covent Garden, We Need A Little Christmas will feature performances from: Maureen Lipman, Courtney Act, Christine Allado, David Bedella, Simon Callow, Kevin Clifton, Brenda Edwards, Sheila Ferguson, Amy Hart, Dom Hartley-Harris, Sophie Isaacs, Cassidy Janson, Lydia Lucy, Lee Mead, Peter Polycarpou, Jodie Prenger, Sharon Rose, Sally Ann Triplett and The Vivienne.
With Denise Welch as host the concert will also feature Brian Conley and the cast of A Christmas Carol – The Musical and the West End Gospel Choir.
Announcing the event, producers Thomas Hopkins and Michael Quinn for Ginger Quiff Media said: “We are so excited to continue our growth as a new company formed in 2020. We are delighted to have raised, to date, over £40,000 for multiple charities through our productions this year.
“This show not only allows us to raise money once again for two charities greatly in need of direct support, but also will allow us to create a show that gives us the opportunity to employ freelancers and to create what we hope will be a very magical event this festive season, both on stream.theatre and Broadway On Demand.”
Produced by Hopkins & Quinn for Ginger Quiff Media and Guy Chapman, We Need A Little Christmas will be directed and staged by Michael Strassen, with musical direction by George Carter and production design by Andrew Exeter. Paul Nicholas Dyke is the associate director.
Tickets are now on sale for the show which will be streamed via stream.theatre. A single ticket costs £20 (plus booking fee) with a family ticket available for £30 (+booking fee). A portion of each ticket sold will go to homeless charities Shelter and Crisis at Christmas.
