By: Gabrielle Sierra Jan. 05, 2011
To launch Get into London Theatre 2011, award-winning West End performer and finalist of BBC TV talent show 'Any Dream Will Do', Daniel Boys hosted a free afternoon of theatrical fun from 2.00-5.00pm on Tuesday 4 January 2011 at the Royal Festival Hall.
The Jersey Boys sang some of the unforgettable songs from their smash-hit show before hot footing it back to the Prince Edward Theatre for their matinée performance; Dance Captain Tim Stanley and the cast taught the finale of the international phenomenon that is Mamma Mia!; there was a chance to sing along to everyone's favourite West End show tunes; the extraordinary cast of Stomp, now celebrating 8 years at the Ambassadors Theatre, led a workshop on body percussion; and Resident Director Dominic Shaw and The cast of Legally Blonde - currently wowing audiences at the Savoy Theatre - gave a unique 'jump rope' demo.
There were special performances by the spectacular Priscilla Queen of the Desert, the perfect antidote to the winter blues on stage at the Palace Theatre, the brilliant Cast of THE Fitzrovia Radio Hour, opening on 11 January at the Trafalgar Studios, transported people back to the 1940's, and Potted Panto, currently playing at the Vaudeville Theatre, gave everyone a giggle.
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson said: "Hats off to the Society of London Theatre. As well as the packed onstage line up, they've added an exciting programme of activities and events. Get Into London Theatre means you can bag a bargain at a time when people are watching their pennies and is a delightful fillip for the chilly first months of the year. It's a fabulous opportunity to discover why our theatre industry is the envy of the world."
