West End's Carrie Hope Fletcher, Jon Lee & More Kick Off Kids Week 2013 at Shakespeare's Globe

The annual London theatre initiative Kids Week was launched today with a special performance at Shakespeare's Globe from a 100-strong children's show choir supported by cast members from top West End shows. The choir was made up of ordinary children crowdsourced especially for the free event led by music theatre company Starling Arts. The performers in attendance on the day were:

Name	Show	Character
Annabelle Brown	The Mousetrap	Miss Casewell
Carrie Hope Fletcher	LES MISERABLES	Eponine
Emma Crossley	Mamma Mia!	Sophie
James Fox	Let It Be	Paul McCartney
Jill Winternitz	Dirty Dancing	Baby
Jon Lee	Jersey Boys	Frankie Valli
Marc Antolin	Matilda The Musical	Rudolpho

Now in its 16th year and run by the Society of London Theatre (SOLT), Kids Week returns for the whole month of August with an exciting line-up of shows offering free tickets and activities for children and families.

Kids Week is all about encouraging young people to experience the magic of live theatre. During Kids Week a child aged 16 or under can go free to participating shows when accompanied by an adult paying full price. Up to two extra children's tickets may also be purchased at half price.

30,000 tickets are still available as part of the promotion, which went on sale in June, and shows with particularly good ticket availability include Brainiac Live!, Horrible Histories - Barmy Britain, Top Hat, Let It Be, The Bodyguard, We Will Rock You and We're Going On A Bear Hunt. (For a full list of participating shows and age suitability guidance visit www.kidsweek.co.uk. All shows are subject to availability; certain shows and performances have very limited ticket availability).
