Musical concert to see stage stars perform numbers for roles they nearly played

In an exercise of emotional catharsis, a variety of stage stars are set to come together to celebrate the roles they nearly played. 

Billed as “a light hearted evening of (horror) stories and performances”, the event is due to take place at the Union Theatre on 19 March 2023, with the event kicking off at 7.30pm. The show comes from the same team that normally presents the “Roles We’ll Never Play” series. 

The line-up for the concert includes feature Abel Law (Les Misérables), Aoife Clesham (Fiver), Billy Nevers (& Juliet), Brandon Gale (Heathers), Britt Lenting (The Phantom Of The Opera), Evelyn Hoskins (Waitress), Jackie Pulford (Elegies For Angels, Punks and Raging Queens), Jade Marvin (Six), Joaquin Pedro Valdes (Heathers), Josh St. Clair (Frozen), Katharine Pearson (Heathers), Li Ying Ue (Cabaret), Luke Yates (Frozen), May Tether (Heathers), Michael Mather (But I’m A Cheeleader), Miracle Chance (Be More Chill), Nicholas McLean (Wicked), Pearce Barron (Grease), Rebecca Gilliland (Wicked) and Rebecca Ridout (The Phantom Of The Opera)

They will be joined by a four piece band under the musical direction of Flynn Sturgeon (42 Balloons).
