The "Roles We'll Never Play" concerts have unveiled two dates in May 2021.

The shows, presented in a socially distanced format, will see stage stars perform numbers from shows that they'd never conventionally be able to take on.

The concerts ran last winter and were also streamed online earlier this year, but will now return for two nights at the Vaudeville Theatre on the Strand.

Musical direction is by Flynn Sturgeon, while the band features Alex Maxted on drums, Ollie Copeland on bass, Steph Frankland on reeds and Auguste E Janonyte on violin.

The line-up is relatively massive so we've broken it down into two dates to make life easier. Tickets are available here.
