Louise Dearman and Emma Hatton Will Lead West End Live Lounge's WOMAN

On Sunday 10th March, West End Live Lounge returns to The Other Palace with WOMAN - an evening celebrating some of the most influential female artists from the world of music.

A stellar line up of West End talent will be led by Louise Dearman and Emma Hatton.

Louise Dearman has a plethora of credits and is best known as the only actress to ever play both Glinda and Elphaba in Wicked.

Louise has also starred as guest vocalist with Josh Groban, Michael Ball and Ramin Karimloo on both UK & International Tours. Louise is a regular on Friday Night is Music Night for BBC Radio 2 and has four studio albums under her belt.

Emma Hatton joins us having recently returned from her residency as guest vocalist for the world renowned Post Modern Jukebox.

As a Musical Theatre Performer Emma is best known for having starred as Eva Peron in Evita, Elphaba in Wicked and Scaramouche in We Will Rock You. Emma was recently chosen to perform as Eva Peron in the BBC documentary celebrating 40 years of Evita.

West End Live Lounge was set up in 2017 by Shaun McCourt, with the view to putting on concerts featuring West End talent to raise vital funds for charities. Proceeds from this event will be going to Samaritans. Previous events have raised money for UNICEF, Barnardos, Mind, Centrepoint and Women's Aid.

Shaun McCourt, the producer for West End Live Lounge, said of the charity and event "I am so unbelievably proud to see West End Live Lounge go from strength to strength. The support from both the audiences and performers is overwhelming. I am so grateful that some of the best performers that the West End has to offer are willing to give up their time and talent for such a worthy cause. Samaritans are such an important charity that are very close to my heart. In a time where we are working so hard to reduce the stigma of mental health they are an invaluable service. They are always there day and night and rely on donations to fund their incredible service."

The evening will be hosted by Samuel J Holmes, with musical direction by Sam Coates.
