Andrew Lloyd Webber Musicals has partnered with the Household Division to present a finale of the Military Musical Spectacular.

The event takes place at Horse Guards Parade from 8 to 10 July, and will feature music from the composer’s musicals, including The Phantom of the Opera and Cats. Webber himself will be taking the salute on 8 July.

As part of the celebrations, Samuel Wyn-Morris will perform as The Phantom and Lily Kerhoas as Christine. Additionally, Kerry Ellis will perform the song “Memory” from Cats.

They will be accompanied by The West End Musical Choir and the Massed Bands of the Household Division joined by the Pipes and Drums of the Scots Guards and The London Scottish Regiment. The Band and Bugles of The Rifles alongside The Band of The Brigade of Gurkhas also make their debut performance at this year’s show, alongside Top Secret Drum Corps who are flying in directly from Switzerland. Plus, the Big Band from the NATO headquarters in Belgium will be performing.

Across London this summer, audiences can watch Phantom of the Opera at His Majesty’s Theatre, a new revival of Jesus Christ Superstar playing at The London Palladium, plus an open-air revival of Cats opening this summer.
