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."
