Sandi Claus is Coming to Town - Royal Albert Hall

[Deleted]

'Absolutely everyone is welcome at this celebration of the great LGBTQIA family and their allies.'

So disappointing, a supposed celebration of LGBTQIA and who do they have as their headline performer....Carrie Hope Fletcher!

Of course, finding LGBTQIA people in theatre must be very hard as they are so rare in the field 🙃🙃🙃

Yes they may mention allies, but an allie shouldn't be the lead headliner when there are so many other talented performers who are LGBTQ+. And even an allie is a loose term for Carrie. It's not like she's out there being an activist.

"Help Sandi belt out some familiar tunes, accompanied by the London Gay Men’s Chorus, the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Karen Ní Bhroin, organist Anna Lapwood, West End star Carrie Hope Fletcher, and dancers from Laine Theatre Arts."

I agree to an extent. It's good that they've got the gay men's chorus, but its not like it'd be hard to find a different alto/mezzo who happened to be a part of the community. Could it be her brand/name they're after?

I'd go just for Anna Lapwood, who is a superb organist

I'd love to see her perform. Been following her on Instagram for yonks with her late night videos at the RAH.

"This event was previously titled Sandi Toksvig and Friends."

This problem with this title is that it makes me think of The Nightmare Before Christmas!
