Kitty Scott-Claus, Alice Fearn and More to Join ROLES WE'LL NEVER PLAY Fundraiser at Lyric Theatre
The lineup also includes Sejal Keshwala, Desmonda Cathabel and more.
A host of West End stars will take to the stage of the Lyric Theatre on 1 June for a one-night-only concert, Roles We'll Never Play: LGBTQ+ IVF Fundraiser, raising vital funds to support a queer couple's IVF journey. Tickets, priced from £25-£75, are on sale now.
Leading the line-up are Kitty Scott-Claus (RuPaul's Drag Race UK), Alice Fearn (Wicked, Come From Away), Sejal Keshwala (Everybody's Talking About Jamie, Bend It Like Beckham), and Desmonda Cathabel (Hadestown, Aladdin). They are joined by Remember Monday band members Lauren Byrne (Matilda, Six) and Holly Anne Hull (LES MISERABLES, The Phantom of the Opera), with the evening hosted by Lee Peart (Bottoms Up Podcast with Alan Carr, touring comedian) and more star-studded cast members!
Performers and creatives across the industry have volunteered their talents for the night, underscoring the depth of support within the theatre community.
The fundraiser is organised and produced by Tom Duern and producer and entrepreneur Nik Haukohl, alongside performers Lauren Soley and Josie Kemp, who first met while appearing in LES MISERABLES at the theatre formerly known as the Queen's Theatre.
Like many same-sex female couples in the UK, Soley and Kemp are required to self-fund IVF treatment under current NHS fertility criteria, which often make funded treatment pathways significantly harder to access than for heterosexual couples. Their journey to parenthood is expected to cost in excess of £35,000.
