Michael D Xavier said: “The MXM Christmas concert always attracts incredible artists, and again this year we are blessed to have some of the biggest stars of the West End coming to perform.
“This has been the most challenging year in history for these West End performers as the pandemic has devastated theatre throughout the UK, but they still wanted to help me raise money for Children with Cancer UK.
“I can’t describe how grateful I am to all of them: West End stars at the very top of their game who are giving their time and talent for a hugely important charity, at a time when their own careers and lives have been stalled by this pandemic. “This is a concert not to be missed – the audience are in for a real Christmas treat!”
