A Plymouth theatre is applauding its partnership with The National Lottery this week after being honoured at The National Lottery’s Big Night of Musicals, a celebration of musical theatre that served as a ‘thank you' to National Lottery players who have been vital in helping to support the industry during the last 20 tumultuous months.
The National Lottery’s Big Night of Musicals, which was hosted by Jason Manford on January 24, saw performances from best-selling West End musicals and touring shows such as FROZEN The Musical, Dear Evan Hansen and Back to the Future at the AO Arena in Manchester to celebrate the vital £228 million received from The National Lottery to fund arts in the UK during the pandemic. The show will be aired on BBC One on Saturday 29th January at 7pm and will be available for 30 days afterwards on BBC iPlayer.
The event in Manchester captured the magic of theatre, shining a light on the difference it makes in communities and to individuals, while also showcasing incredible musicals from across the UK – and Theatre Royal Plymouth were thrilled to have been a part of it.
