The moment we’ve all been waiting for… the line up for tomorrow’s theatre, comedy and musical extravaganza, All The Web’s A Stage has been announced!

The event kicks off at midday and will last all day, with curated poems, songs, readings and performances all the way until midnight.

Some of your favourite musical theatre stars are hosting and performing, including Toby Marlow, Noah Thomas, Lousie Dearman, Joanne Clifton, Kerry Ellis, Danny Mac, David Hunter, Marisha Wallace, Tom Milner and Laura Pick.

But you can expect a wide variety of performances, including poetry readings from Stephen Fry, Jade Anouka and Luke Wright; comedy from Ivo Graham and The Yes Queens, and a multi-location dance choreographed by Chris Whittaker.

The event is free to watch, but All The Web’s A Stage are asking that in return for the 12 hours of hard work from performers and organisers, those who enjoy it donate to their Just Giving page, which will raise funds for Acting for Others and Help Musicians to support those in the arts facing hardship now as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, as well as to The Golsoncott Foundation, supporting individuals or organisations who have been impacted by the crisis to return with a piece of work once the industry begins to recover.
