Goode’.
The cast will appear in a special performance on Comic Relief, which will air on BBC1 on 19 March 2021. The bespoke sketch created by Gale and specially commissioned for Comic Relief has been directed by Richard Curtis.

We look forward to welcoming our audience back to the theatre after so many months of being starved of live entertainment, with this heartening, hilarious story set to multi-Grammy winners Silvestri and Ballard’s fantastic new songs, alongside the original classics from the movie.”
