A team of more than 50 performers on-stage and 100 crew off-stage play every night to up to 2,200 people at the Lyceum Theatre.

The gala will support the Elton John AIDS Foundations and the Royal Academy of Music.

The multi-award-winning musical is also embarking on a second UK and Ireland tour, opening at The Bristol Hippodrome on 7 September and moving on to the Edinburgh Playhouse from 5 December. Further dates will be announced in due course.

The 20th-anniversary gala will take place on 19 October at the Lyceum Theatre.
