Beverley Knight discusses the National Lottery’s Big Night of Musicals, Sister Act and Ruth Jones

It has been confirmed that award winner Beverley Knight is set for a guest star appearance at the 2024 edition of the National Lottery’s Big Night of Musicals.

Knight, who represented The Drifters Girl in the 2022 launch of the musical theatre mega-event, is scheduled to perform one of her classic numbers on the night and will also help to surprise some National Lottery heroes.

She commented: ”It’s great to be coming back to be part of this incredible show. The support National Lottery players make to the theatre industry is crucial to the performers and myriad of people – at large and small venues – who help make a night at the theatre so special. I can’t wait to see this astonishing lineup of talent in Manchester belting out musical classics.”
