Stiles and Drewe’s new musical SOHO CINDERS at the Novello Theatre, in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust. The concert will feature an all-star cast, including Kerry Ellis, Hannah Waddingham, Beverly Rudd, David Bedella, and Sandi Toksvig with more exciting casting still to be announced. Jonathan Butterell will direct and Stephen Mear and Drew McConie will choreograph.

Cinderella remixed: SOHO CINDERS is a modern musical fable with a story centred around the complicated love life of prospective Mayoral candidate James Prince, his fiancée and his law-student lover, Robbie - who´s paying his college bills in a somewhat unorthodox way. A satirical comedy with a catchy contemporary new score from Stiles and Drewe, SOHO CINDERS is a truly 21st-century musical.

This special concert performance is held in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust, a charity devoted to improving the lives of teenagers and young adults with cancer. Teenage Cancer Trust aim to ensure that every young person with cancer and their family receive the best possible care and professional support throughout their cancer journey.
