Tom Read Wilson And West End Stars Announced For Christmas At The Chiswick Playhouse

Christmas at the Chiswick Playhouse comprises of three enchanting evenings of song featuring leading stars of the West End. The audience can expect a wonderful range of festive classics, combined with well-known songs from the shows and a singalong or two, presented by three exceptional casts. With a free glass of mulled wine at a cosy venue on a cold December night, the concerts promise to serve up a delightful way to embrace the holiday spirit.

Have you seen Wicked recently? What about Dear Evan Hansen? Come along on Sunday 8th December to hear West End stars Helen Woolf (currently Glinda) and Hannah Lindsey (cover Heidi/Cynthia) serenade audiences.
