"As well as being an exceptionally talented nation, the people we have met are also warm, generous and good-hearted human beings who have become our friends the world over.
"The recent terrible natural disaster there has affected so many people and along with the international aid, I am only too happy to offer the use of the Queen’s Theatre for a fundraising performance led by stars of the Philippines and the West End to help gather as much money as possible for those in desperate need.”
You’ll Never Walk Alone will take place on 2 March at The Queen’s Theatre, London. it is produced by Paul Spicer and Matt Firth for Stage Acts Productions with the support of Delfont Mackintosh Theatres. For further information and booking visit the event web site or the Delfont Mackintosh web site.
