West End Eurovision Launch Party

21 Jan 2012 / Comments Off / in Events/by Bryon Fear

West End Eurovision
From 11.30pm
Dominion Theatre, 268-269 Tottenham Court Road – W1T 7AQ
………………………………………………………………………………………….

On Wednesday the Make A Difference Trust (MAD) announced the date and location of this year’s annual West End Eurovision at a launch party held at the Edge on Soho Square.

The event was hosted by Toby Anstis and MAD Chairman David Pendlebury who revealed that this year’s show will be taking place at the Dominion Theatre on April 26th.The annual event, which is now in its 5th year, sees several casts from London’s West End theatres performing a Eurovision Song from yesteryear. The evening is run much like its namesake, with live phone votes, video idents to introduce each cast and even a video feed from the green room (it gets messy). Last year’s event was hosted by Gaby Roslin, with Justin Lee Collins, Graham Norton and the wonderful Sheridan Smith as guest judges. All proceeds raised from the event goes to aid the MAD Trust’s ongoing charity work assisting people with HIV and AIDS and people who have worked in the entertainment industry who face hardship as the result of a long term illness.

West End Eurovision is one of the West End’s most popular annual events. Despite its 11.30pm kick-off (after all the casts have finished the ‘day’ job) the Piccadilly theatre last year was down to standing room only, with the aisles crammed with as many people fire safety would allow. The move from the Piccadilly theatre, who have hosted the event for free for the past four years, to the Dominion is great news for MAD with an increase of 900 seats, meaning more money can be raised by this great charity.

If you want to experience the midnight mayhem for yourself follow the information below. Tickets are priced at £20, £35, £45 (with a £1 restoration levy):

About Polari Magazine

Polari Magazine is an LGBT arts and culture magazine that explores the subculture by looking at what is important to the people who are in it. It’s about the lives we lead, not the lifestyles we’re supposed to lead.

Its content is informed & insightful, and features a diverse range of writers from every section of the community. Its intent is to help LGBT readers learn about their own heritage and to sustain a link between the present and the past.

Polari is designed to nurture the idea of community, whether that be social and political, or artistic and creative. It is your magazine, whether you want to read it, or whether you want to get involved in it, if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, or queer.

Polari Magazine is all these: it's a gay online magazine; it's a gay and lesbian online magazine; it's an LGBT arts and culture magazine. Ultimately, it is a queer magazine.
