Casting has been announced for the one-off charity performance of Broadway show Disaster!, which plays the Charing Cross Theatre in November in aid of the Make a Difference Trust.

The show's creator Seth Rudetsky and original Broadway cast member Jennifer Simard will be joined by a host of West End favourites including Oliver Tompsett (Guys & Dolls, Wicked), Sally Ann Triplett (Mamma Mia!, Guys & Dolls), Jodie Jacobs (27, Carrie), Alice Fearn (Wicked, Les Miserables), Sandra Marvin (Stepping Out, Show Boat) and Bradley Riches (Godspell, Annie Jr).

Disaster! is a musical comedy spoof of 1970s jeopardy movies including Earthquake and Airport. The musical opened on Broadway earlier this year starring Adam Pascal alongside Simard and Rudetsky and features '70s dance floor hits including "I Will Survive", "Knock On Wood" and "Hot Stuff".

Disaster! runs at the Charing Cross Theatre for two performances on Sunday 20 November at 4pm and 7.30pm.
