Geri Halliwell, Alexandra Burke and Blue among stars to perform on West End for Children in Need
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Stars including Geri Halliwell will tread the boards in the West End to raise money for Children In Need.
The former Spice Girl will appear in Singin' In The Rain, while X Factor winner Alexandra Burke will perform in Les Miserables and boyband Blue will join the cast of Jersey Boys.
Other names taking part include Macy Gray, who will appear in the Michael Jackson tribute show Thriller Live.
Halliwell, who appeared with her former bandmates at the closing ceremony of the Olympics, said: "I have a thing for rain, so I am very excited to be performing in the West End musical Singin' In The Rain and it's all for BBC's Children In Need.
"Just imagine - for one night I get to perform in this classic musical."
Last year, celebrities including Peter Andre and Mel C took part in the theatrical fundraiser.
