EDINBURGH FESTIVAL 2009: Kerry Ellis To Perform At Edinburgh With PERFECT PITCH

Following the success of last year's one-off concert, Perfect Pitch are proud to announce their second concert of songs from brand new musicals at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Performing over two days, Kerry Ellis will be just one of a stellar line-up of West End performers, accompanied by a fantastic live band. Audiences will be treated to a sneak preview of songs from the hottest new musicals in the Perfect Pitch network, in development to become the future hits of the West End and Broadway.

Perfect Pitch In Concert will be performing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe's Musical Theatre at George Square, George 1 on the 18th (7pm) and 19th (4pm) August.

Cast includes John Addison (The Phantom of The Opera, A Little Night Music); Gareth Chart (Gone With The Wind, Mamma Mia); Nicole Faraday (Bad Girls the Musical, Over The Rainbow); Tim Driesen (Never Forget, Starlight Express); Kelly Price (A Little Night Music, Chicago) and introducing Amana Jones (Arts Educational), with a special guest appearance from Kerry Ellis (We Will Rock You, Wicked). The event will be hosted by Jamie Hinde (Lion King, RSC).

Perfect Pitch was founded by Independent Producer Andy Barnes in 2006 as a yearly showcase for new musicals. In 2008, with the support of over 15 partners around the UK including venues, training establishments, agents and producers, Perfect Pitch expanded into a network for new musicals that could not only showcase them annually within the West End but also create opportunities throughout the year for them to be nurtured, developed and workshopped. Earlier this year, Perfect Pitch was awarded £188,860 by the Arts Council England (ACE) to continue its long-term aims of creating a grassroots infrastructure for developing new musical projects. The award represents one of ACE's largest ever investments in musical theatre.
