PRESS RELEASE (Source: Official NOTV website) In 2010, The Night of 1000 Voices will be celebrating its 10th birthday, the 80th birthday of Stephen Sondheim and the 50th Anniversary of this year’s charity, Leukaemia Research. Performers to be introduced by Aled Jones include London and Broadway’s Kerry Ellis (Oliver!, Wicked, Les Misérables) and Adam Pascal (Rent, Chess in Concert) and multi-Olivier Award-winning Philip Quast (Les Misérables, La Cage Aux Folles); also, the popular Night of 1000 Voices favourites, Teri Bibb (Broadway’s Christine in The Phantom of the Opera), Kenneth Nichols (Lyric Opera of Chicago) and David Michael Johnson (We Will Rock You in Stuttgart) who will return with his show-stopping 'Jesus Christ Superstar'. Other guests will include the head judge of ITV's Dancing on Ice, Robin Cousins and, for the 8pm show, TV personalities Gloria Hunniford and Ainsley Harriott. This year there will be a birthday tribute to Stephen Sondheim, as well as the most requested favourites from the last 10 years - including 'You’ll Never Walk Alone', 'The Tonight Quintet', 'It Ain't Necessarily So', and 'Don’t Cry For Me Argentina'. These are just some of the great songs that will be given The Night of 1000 Voices treatment, together with nods to We Will Rock You and The Rocky Horror Show. In 2010, The Night of 1000 Voices will be for the benefit of Leukaemia Research. This is the only UK charity solely dedicated to saving
lives through research into better treatments and cures for all blood cancers
including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Cathy Gilman, Chief Executive,
says: "Since 1960, Leukaemia Research has invested in world-class
research and survival rates have increased dramatically for patients with
leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. However, there’s still a long way to
go and money raised from this evening will help us get closer to a cure. The West End's distinguished conductors, Mark Warman, Stuart Morley and
David Firman, will supervise the massed musical forces and the director,
Hugh Wooldridge, says "This evening is a must for all who love musicals.
Come along and hear the best performers in the world performing some of
the greatest songs. Come and join in the fun; come and raise funds for
