Former Chelsea and England footballer Dennis Wise joined cast members from Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera on stage at The Queen's Theatre to give some footballing tips prior to their final showdown match on 2nd August at Bromley Football Club. The match sees the two giants of the West End, Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera, leaving the West End stage behind and heading down to Bromley Arena, not for a singing show down, but for a football match. Following on the success of the last two years they are planning a third and final MAD Match to see who will be the ultimate champion! The match, played to raise funds for the Make A Difference Trust, promises to be a mix of football and fun for all.
