Story

This last year hasn’t been easy on any of us. Thankfully, we can take a collective sigh of relief that the end of this pandemic is near. THERE WILL BE LIGHT is an international online fundraiser and concert with performers from Broadway, The West End and beyond.  The show will stream on YouTube Live Friday, May 14th 8PM GMT / 3PM EST and be available to view for the rest of the weekend.  The evening is conceived and produced by Sarah Drake (Next to Normal, Regional Premier; Grease, Original Cast RCCL) an actress/singer from New York City who, after the death of her father in October 2020, decided to take life into her own hands and head to London.

“We’ve all been through a collective trauma,” says Drake. "THERE WILL BE LIGHT is an opportunity to share the hope we have for the return of our beloved theatre industry while providing support through Acting For Others. I can’t wait to perform with my friends and for audiences in person again, but until then, I’m grateful for opportunities like this. ”

Cast Includes:
Alex Lodge (Book of Mormon, A Christmas Carol- West End), Emma Salvo (Come From Away-West End), Nick Hayes (Legally Blonde, Footloose- West End), Michael Tacconi (The Cher Show, West Side Story- Broadway), Tavia Rivée (Motown- National Tour), Rebecca Stenhouse (Legally Blonde- UK Tour, Grease- Arena Tour, RCCL) Tiffany Chalothorn (A Chorus Line), Solomon Jaye (International Headliner and Recording Artist) and Rebecca Gilhooley (Cruel Intentions- Edinburgh Festival, The Last Ship- Mirvish Productions w/ Sting)
