Watch Six The Musical and Carrie Hope Fletcher perform on Children In Need
There were a number of special musical theatre performances on Children In Need’s latest telethon.
BBC Children in Need celebrated its 40th anniversary live on Friday 13 November on BBC One.
This year the show was hosted by Mel Giedroyc, Stephen Mangan, Alex Scott MBE and Chris Ramsey as the hosts come together to help disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.
There was an abundance of singing and dancing from the best of the West End, with performances including the cast of SIX!
The SIX cast for the performance featured Lauren Drew (Catherine of Aragon), Maddison Bulleyment (Anne Boleyn), Harriet Watson (Jane Seymour), Shekinah McFarlane (Anna of Cleves), Jodie Steele (Katherine Howard) and Athena Collins (Catherine Parr).
The performance from SIX comes after the show announced a return to the West End as well as tour dates at The Lowry in Salford and Southampton’s Mayflower in 2021.
Also performing on the night was Carrie Hope Fletcher singing from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cinderella with the Lord himself on the piano.
Later, the sensational Beverley Knight took to the stage for a magical performance.
