It will raise money for charities and features stars from the world of theatre, music and dance, celebrating the magical connection and transformative power of the Arts.
Anya says: “Having not been able to perform throughout 2020 and seeing many of my friends struggle without a creative outlet due to the pandemic, we decided we had to take matters into our own hands and create a virtual experience that could bring the Arts back to life”.
The show is an uplifting collaboration between some of the biggest names across the industry. Award winning Film producers, Award winning Songwriters, Actresses, Musicians, Broadway stars and those from The West End, Strictly Come Dancing, So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing With The Stars and more… the result is a show of ‘Variety’ of unity and support for the arts by the arts and for the people by the people.
