Roles We’ll Never Play (….except for Tonight)

Taking  a leaf out of Broadway Backwards the extremely successful series of concerts with host of stars giving gender-bending performances, members of London’s West End Theatres have now created their own version.

“Roles We’ll Never Play” is an extravagent musical evening when some of the finest talents from a string of West End hit musicals get the opportunity to really let loose.  With boys singing the girls part and vice versa, the evening is electrified by the excitement of everyone finally getting the chance to play roles they have been lusting after in the wings.

You can also sense the release of so much pent up energy from all these performers who have been unable to perform for the best part of a year due to the COVID Lockdown.  It also reminds us what we are missing now we that we have no live theatre.
