The one-off concert will take place in July.

The Royal Albert Hall will reopen its doors this summer, and upcoming programming has been released. On 21 July, audiences can expect an evening of musical theatre, as The Best of the West End returns.

The Best of the West End is a celebration of all things London theatre, with acclaimed performers reprising their iconic roles for one night only. Artists taking part include Ben Forster, Ruthie Henshall, John Owen-Jones, Mazz Murray, Mica Paris, Layton Williams, Lauren Samuels, Matt Henry MBE, Sophie Evans, Matthew Croke, Kerry Ellis, Gina Murray, Anna-Jane Casey and Friederike Krum.

This year's concert will be raising money for Acting for Others, supporting theatre industry workers who have been affected by the pandemic.
